Chondroitin sulphate linked to lower knee swelling
Supplements of chondroitin sulphate may reduce swelling in the knee of osteoarthritis sufferers, according to new analysis of GAIT II.
Marc Hochberg from University of Maryland, School of Medicine and Daniel Clegg from the University of Utah, School of Medicine performed a post hoc analysis of the data from the second arm of the Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT II) and found that people with milder forms of osteoarthritis may benefit the most from chondroitin sulphate supplementation.
Hochberg and Clegg report their findings in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage.
