Not approved as a prescription medicine is wrong

That statement in the second paragraph is only true for the United States. I haven't looked at all EU countries, but stronger glucosamine medicines are available in Finland with a doctor's prescription. Verificity (talk) 11:40, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+== Not approved as a prescription medicine is wrong ==
-== US Bias ==
-From the medical uses section:
-"Oral glucosamine is a dietary supplement and is not a pharmaceutical drug. It is illegal in the US to market any dietary supplement as a treatment for any disease or condition.[4]"
-I understand why this information was included, but why is it included in the first paragraph of the body in isolation from glucosamine's legal/medicinal status in the rest of the English language diaspora? I fear yet more US bias on "English" language wikipedia. [[Special:Contributions/139.218.177.138|139.218.177.138]] ([[User talk:139.218.177.138|talk]]) 07:02, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
-:Could be improved:  In the United States, oral glucosamine is a dietary supplement and is not a pharmaceutical drug. It is a prescription drug in some other countries. It is illegal in the U.S. to market any dietary supplement as a treatment for any disease or condition, but it is legal to market a dietary supplement as long as the label does not make a disease claim and also includes the FDA disclaimer statement. For glucosamine, "Helps maintain healthy joints" allowed, while "Restores joint cartilage and cures osteoarthritis" not.[[User:David notMD|David notMD]] ([[User talk:David notMD|talk]]) 11:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
-== Sorry this page sounds like a hit piece ==
-Sorry, this page sounds like a hit piece on glucosamine. There's ample medical evidence that it helps relieve arthritis pains and injuries, and it does not convey this. Instead it sounds like a disclaimer. I call this a hit piece. This is one of the worst pages if come to on wikipedia in years, so biased. Somebody's been paid to do this.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/85.151.139.15|85.151.139.15]] ([[User talk:85.151.139.15|talk]]) 20:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-:It is completely unfounded to claim that this article is the result of someone being paid to write it.  In its current state, it has developed over the course of years through the contributions of many editors who voluntarily add to Wikipedia's medical content.  (Please see [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith]].)   If you would like to suggest specific changes to the article's content, please feel free to do so here.  -- [[User:Edgar181|Ed]] ([[User talk:Edgar181|Edgar181]]) 21:04, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
-:Very late to the game here, but no. There isnt. The "best" result of multigenerational studies show that there is zero proof it helps with injuries and its effect on osteoporosis is so limited you might as well not bother.

-==Newer study - could ref ==
-Wondering why this study <ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4649492/?fbclid=IwAR1zRgNHufJKHSCOnrm0GDUkyp3v8nIYPof7s0jONbxU-L9fqBFtiSZStHs </ref>  has not been included which proves efficacy with osteoarthritis in the knee, yet an outdated 2013 study is cited.

-According to DrugBank, Thieme Römpp and  the Merk Index, the predicted melting point is at 88 °C (for α) and 110 °C (for β, decomposition).
-Does somebody know which the source of the melting point, given in this article, is?
-I think we should either remove the melting point or add, that the data is probably not valuable. [[User:Philrei|Philrei]] ([[User talk:Philrei|talk]]) 12:37, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
