Original Research

Noteworthy comment: There are a number of good things about this paper. First of all it is a well designed paper that puts in circumspect the use of this widely used osteoarthritis supplement. By reporting this negative result the authors have presented material that could have a significant clinical impact on what clinicians might suggest for their patients. 18 billion dollars a years have been spent on self-selected remedies for OA. Supplements are a major market that is unregulated and lacks the type of clear research shown here. Also, by encouraging rigid research for supplements a better cost effective impact may be defined.
