Description
Dewan Md Sumsuzzman and co-authors compare glucosamine pairings for knee osteoarthritis pain in a 2024 review. Glucosamine is a popular supplement for sore knees, yet studies and guidelines disagree on whether it works, alone or combined.
The team pooled thirty trials with over five thousand patients in a network analysis. Glucosamine with omega-3 oils cut pain the most against placebo, with glucosamine plus ibuprofen close behind. A triple mix with two other supplements also helped, on weaker evidence. No other pairing passed the bar for a meaningful gain. The omega-3 pairing also ranked best on side effects, the authors report.
