ConsumerLabs.com Looks At Joint Supplements

Tuesday November 4, 2003
Learn about Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) -- commonly used nutritional supplements for arthritis and joint pain, both in pets and people. Since these are supplements, they are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and actual ingredients and efficacy vary widely. ConsumerLabs.com looks at and compares several brands.
