I have seen a few double blinded-placebo controlled studies from Europe and US that show that the combination of glucosamine, chondroitin and manganese can improve radiological evidence of arthritis and lessen joint pain. With this in mind, I look for the combination of these ingredients when I buy glucosamine supplements. I am not sure how they are working for me at this time - I have waxing/waning pain in my feet, knees, wrists and fingers (presumably from Arimidex). But, none of the pain seems to interfere with my exercise plans. Low dose ibuprofen or tylenol seem to work well.
