Dr. Cannada shares if there are long-term effects associated with taking glucosamine chondroitin as a supplement for joint health.
Dr. Cannada:
You know, there’s not a good study. In the European literature they can study that. In the United States there’s no regulatory body for that. So the FDA doesn’t regulate those substances so we don’t know any. It’s hard to study and get the correct answer.
