可以省點錢,不用再給親友買"固他命(骨他命)"了.
"Our study found no evidence that drinking glucosamine supplement reduced knee cartilage damage, relieved pain or improved function in individuals with chronic knee pain," said the study's lead author, Dr. C. Kent Kwoh, professor of medicine and medical imaging at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.
"We looked at multiple different ways that glucosamine might help," said Kwoh, who also directs the University of Arizona Arthritis Center. "None of them showed any benefit."
