Chondroitin

Bone, joint, and mobility is the main area connected here, and any felt benefit should be read together with the human evidence base.

The 54.4 score includes research signals from patient or disease contexts. General supplement evidence is not repeated enough, so the C tier remains conservative.

Representative tier calculated from paper evidence that passed the collection audit.

Combinations studied together

The group showed a positive signal, but individual contributions are hard to isolate. Not a stack recommendation.

Key Evidence #1
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 530
review

Compared with placebo, glucosamine, chondroitin, and their combination do not reduce joint pain or have an impact on narrowing of joint space and health authorities and health insurers should not cover the costs.

Key Evidence #2
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 304
meta-analysis

A systematic review and meta-analysis of all available randomized, controlled trials to determine the effects of chondroitin on pain and joint space width and to explore whether reported beneficial effects could be explained by biases affecting individual tria

Key Evidence #3
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 290
review

There was evidence that glucosamine sulphate shows some clinical effectiveness in the treatment of OA of the knee and the proposal that the active substance may be sulphate should be explored further.
