Pardon me please. I rushed the question. However, exhibit=demonstrate=display. I write more than I crunch biological calculations, so please bear with my choice of words. In the meantime, I find ag_iitkgp's answer useful and michelsa0276 answer a bit arrogant, a bit informed and incomplete by the standard of the question. Thank you all! I did find rough energy values, in, of all places, an article posting the research on pet food--can you imagine?

They do on hydrolysis. Values not yet tabulated.

The use for Glucosamine and Chondroitin... with MSM... is to rebuild cartilage in the joints and replace the fluids in the joints to keep the movable. I'm not aware of any energy values, but I can tell you for a fact that, if I go for as little as 2 weeks without taking it daily, I am walking with a cane and once I get a new supply, I am able to walk unaided after only a couple of days.
It's the greatest help to people with joint problems I can imagie.

"exhibit energy values" is very vague? Are talking about metabolism of these compounds? Glucosamine is just broken down into sugar - it's made from glucose. Chondroitin is similar, just a chain of sugars placed end to end. The energy produced by the breakdown of this compound is just the values of the individual sugars, minus the energy input required to break them apart. Simple.
