Hello,
Looking for as many opinions as possible on this! After turning 30 last week I'm thinking about a long term Joint health.
I already do the obvious avioding running on hard surfaces where possible and cross training. I'm looking at the wide range of nutrition products aimed at joint health. So the my main points are as follows
1) Does anyone else think about this?
2) What products do you use if any? been looking at a seven seas one a day codliver, multi vitamin mixed in with conclusamine
I had cartlage operation on one of knees already and worried about long term joint health.
Any opinions and comments welcome
Thanks!

There isn't any real evidence to say that glucosamine and chondroitin have any significant effect. The best we can say is that they might have some benefit, and won't do any harm. You would probably need a high strength and be taking them forever. They are not cheap. There are better things you can do. Although the best ones are hard work or out of your control.
won't hurt to continue with the cod livers then!
I have also learned from this thread the correct spelling of Glucosamine and it is in fact 'cue' and not 'que'
Sure I remember the forum being more easy going in the past, no wonder its not what it used to be. Shame
And I think you misinterpreted Willieverfinish's post a bit. He's not negative at all!
Noted some new training ground while out running last night.
Looking for soft non-technical running ground to save the knees? hit the local golf course after dark! avoiding tee's & greens of course!
Just recommending this as I find I'm more susceptible to injury when I'm run down.
Abstract
Objective To determine the effect of glucosamine, chondroitin, or the two in combination on joint pain and on radiological progression of disease in osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.Design Network meta-analysis. Direct comparisons within trials were combined with indirect evidence from other trials by using a Bayesian model that allowed the synthesis of multiple time points.
Main outcome measure Pain intensity. Secondary outcome was change in minimal width of joint space.
For none of the estimates did the 95% credible intervals cross the boundary of the minimal clinically important difference. Industry independent trials showed smaller effects than commercially funded trials (P=0.02 for interaction). The differences in changes in minimal width of joint space were all minute, with 95% credible intervals overlapping zero.
Conclusions Compared with placebo, glucosamine, chondroitin, and their combination do not reduce joint pain or have an impact on narrowing of joint space. Health authorities and health insurers should not cover the costs of these preparations, and new prescriptions to patients who have not received treatment should be discouraged.
