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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.151.139.15 (talk) 20:29, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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. -- Ed (Edgar181) 21:04, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
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. 219.88.172.162 (talk) 04:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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]
