【新研究】Glucosamine(固他命)不能减少膝盖软骨损失和疼痛

另一膳食补充剂再遭冷遇---这是继去年医学界关于维生素补充剂不能预防疾病的几篇报道后对Glucosamine的一项研究结果:

Glucosamine Study: No Help for Knee Pain

可以省点钱,不用再给亲友买"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."
