There is a body of evidence now clearly demonstrating the lack of useful effect of chondroitin. But the manufacturers continue to weasel around the data with testimonials and anecdotes, or small subsets of participants. Same problem with organic food hawkers....
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16495392>
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18821708>
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20525840> "CONCLUSIONS: Over 2 years, no treatment achieved a clinically important difference in WOMAC pain or function as compared with placebo. "
or from an NIH summary: "... the evidence shows that some people with osteoarthritis of the knee can experience some benefit from taking chondroitin; however, pain relief is likely to be modest or insignificant."
Advil is a lot cheaper.
