A recent systematic review in the journal Nutrients analyzed 146 studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of glucosamine and chondroitin in humans. Researchers found that for conditions like osteoarthritis and joint pain, the supplements are generally effective and well-tolerated. Over 90% of the efficacy studies included in the review reported positive outcomes for patients. Similarly, a majority of safety studies (80 out of 107) concluded that the supplements have minimal to no adverse effects, with the most common being mild gastrointestinal complaints. The most frequently studied and effective daily dosages were 1500 mg for glucosamine and 1200 mg for chondroitin, typically taken together in two or three divided doses.Disclaimers:"This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice.""The information presented is from a systematic review of 146 human studies, the majority of which were randomized controlled trials.""Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet, supplement regimen, or treatment plan, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications.""This channel does not provide medical advice."#Glucosamine #Chondroitin #Osteoarthritis #JointPain #SystematicReviewBaden KER, Hoeksema SL, Gibson N, Gadi DN, Craig E, Draime JA, Tubb SM, Chen AMH.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, over 2 million Australians are living with osteoarthritis — a condition that results from the degeneration of joint cartilage and underlying bone, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, particularly in the knees, hips, hands, and feet. But is osteoarthritis simply a result of 'wear and tear'? And more importantly, what can be done about it? On this edition, we'll explore not only what causes knee osteoarthritis, but also hear about a range of treatment and management options available — that can help people maintain their mobility and quality of life.

This week, we dive into the pressing need to shift osteoarthritis management away from costly, invasive procedures like knee replacements toward more accessible, non-surgical treatments. Professor Ilana Ackerman from Monash University joins us to discuss why lifestyle changes - exercise, diet, and education - should be the first line of care, backed by compelling research that shows these approaches can delay or even avoid the need for surgery. Yet, despite the evidence, reimbursement for these programs remains limited, and many patients end up with surgeries they might not truly need. We explore the financial and health system benefits of funding non-surgical programs, which could save the Australian healthcare system hundreds of millions of dollars annually. This episode is a call to action for policymakers, healthcare providers, and anyone impacted by osteoarthritis to advocate for better access to preventive care.Tune in to learn how empowering patients with non-surgical options can lead to better outcomes, substantial cost savings, and a more personalised path for managing osteoarthritis.RESOURCESPrevious episodesThe volume of joint replacement surgeries for osteoarthritis is not sustainable with Prof Ilana Ackerman, Season 3, Episode 13Journal articlesLifetime Cost-Effectiveness of Structured Education and Exercise Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis in Australia Implementing a national first-line management program for moderate-severe knee osteoarthritis in Australia: A budget impact analysis focusing on knee replacement avoidance CONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgInstagram: @osteoarthritisresearchgroupEmail: hello@jointaction.infoWebsite: www.jointaction.info/podcast Hosted on Acast.
