New Research: Omega 3s and glucosamine

A recent study published in the journal Advances in Therapy evaluated the impact of omega 3s and glucosamine, taken in combination, on individuals with osteoarthritis. This randomized controlled clinical trial involved 177 participants with moderate-to-severe knee or hip osteoarthritis. The participants either received supplementation of glucosamine alone or glucosamine and omega 3 fatty acids over a 26 week period. The study concluded that individuals who received the combination of glucosamine and omega 3s had a more substantial reduction in joint stiffness and pain than the individuals who received glucosamine alone.
