Glucosamine: what the big trials found
Ten years on glucosamine? Here’s the NIH 1,583-person trial and the BMJ meta-analysis.
- 1GAIT (NEJM 2006): pain response placebo 60%, glucosamine 64%, chondroitin 65%, both 67% — none significant
- 2BMJ 2010 (3,803 people): pain improved 0.3–0.5 cm on a 10-cm scale, below the 0.9 cm that matters clinically
- 3Joint-space change on X-ray same as placebo — no “cartilage repair”
- 4Industry-funded trials showed 0.5 cm more effect than independent ones
- 5ACR 2019, OARSI 2019 and NICE 2022 all recommend against
- 6What works: exercise therapy and weight loss (each kg lost cuts knee load by about 4 kg)
Kidney patients: some products carry potassium or sodium; possible interaction with warfarin. Fairly safe — just don’t skip the exercise.

| 5–25 | GAIT five bars | The NIH-funded GAIT trial: placebo 60%, glucosamine 64%, chondroitin 65%, both 67% — none significant. |
| 25–45 | BMJ 0.9 cm threshold | BMJ pooled ten large trials: pain improved only 0.3 to 0.5 cm; joint space changed the same as placebo. |
| 45–60 | Exercise + scale | Guidelines recommend against it. What works is exercise and weight loss — every kilo lost takes four off your knees. |
