" That is is a very interesting topic as i have published a large population clinical trial on the efficacy of MSM with glucosamine sulfate on patients with arthritis.

Inour study of 1500 patients, we had quite a bit of inprovements in the daily activity of the partcipating subjects. 28% reported a decrease in pain 2 months following the trial while 56% reported a decrease 6 onths after the trial. However, it was difficult to specify which agent was responsible... I'm willing to bet that it was the glucosamine sulfate as it is known in the literature to cause proliferation of the chondrocytes through second messengers protein molecules. That in return builds a new bone matrix. "
