Combining glucosamine and chondroitin are now known to halt, reverse, or even cure osteoarthritis.
Chondroitin and glucosamine work simultaneously to brew up new cartilage while warding off cartilage-eating enzymes. The bottom line is that if you have osteoarthritis, you will most likely experience good or excellent results in rebuilding damaged cartilage by taking this combination of supplements.
The other great news about chondroitin and glucosamine is that taking them produces no side effects. In fact, we already produce them within our bodies to a limited extent. So, unlike NSAID's, these nontoxic substances settle nicely into their jobs without creating problems for the rest of our system.

They provide the building blocks for making cartilage. This helps rebuild the cushion between bones in your joints. It is indeed edible. I take 1500 mg glucosamine sulfate daily on an empty stomach.

They are supposed to help your joints, but the latest studies in the New England Journal of Medicine don't support this idea. There has been some evidence that it helps animals though.

It is a supplement that helps the joints in the body. It helps maintain that liquid cushioning and lubrication within your joints. It is in pill form or a liquid. It is a natural supplement so yes it is edible.

These are components of cartilage in joints. No large scale study has definitively proven it, but smaller studies suggest supplements do appear to help.
