Description
Osteoarthritis is the most common arthritis in the world. Glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl) is one of these therapies. There are limited studies of glucosamine HCl in humans. Although some subjects do report statistically significant improvement in pain and function from products combining glucosamine HCl and other agents, glucosamine HCl by itself appears to offer little benefit to those suffering from osteoarthritis.

Diarrhea, constipation, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
