Yes - I read about it in the pamphlets given to my by my doctor. And I firmly believe in its benefits as well - I'm getting some for Max from the vet this week too, as he has some arthritis in his front leg. So us "old folks" can take our meds together, ha ha ha. It's something I've thought about taking for quite a few years, but I never did becauseof the price - guess I should have!!!
I'm taking the triple-cocktail. To quote the pamphlet: "glucosamine is a basic building block of joint cartilage, which helps maintain structural integrity of joint and connective tissues; Chondroitin is a naturally occurring nutrient found in connective tissue. It is capable of binding water molecules to lubricate and support joints." The MSM helps relieve pain and inflammation and helps with the absorbtion of the other two compounds.
One thing is to get it from a well-known manufacturer. Not all compounds are created equal, unfortunately, some are made with a lot of fillers. I went with a pharmaceutical company that's been in business for a long time.

I'd be interested to hear what nminusone thinks!
