You're thinking of glucosamin chondritin, ro something like that. It's not new.
What kind of pain do you have in your knee? What is causing it? Different pains require different treatments.

The process is called VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION-some medication is injected into the knee joint over a period of 3 weeks which is supposed to rebuild damaged cartilage. They claim it can delay total knee replacement for 1-2 years which is not bad. However, severely damaged joints will not respond anymore to viscosupplementation. You need to see your orthopedic surgeon regarding this.
