   However, in the moderate-to-severe pain subgroup, the combination of chondroitin and glucosamine was found to be clinically more effective (in 25% of the patients) in treating pain than celecoxib or chondroitin and glucosamine taken individually. Due to small sample sizes in the sub-group (roughly 250 people), the researchers concluded that ...

   Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage, [2] and provides much of its resistance to compression. [3] Along with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate has become a widely used dietary supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis, although large clinical trials failed to demonstrate any symptomatic benefit of chondroitin.

   [1] [2] Risk is greater in those who are overweight, have legs of different lengths, or have jobs that result in high levels of joint stress. [1] [2] [8] Osteoarthritis is believed to be caused by mechanical stress on the joint and low grade inflammatory processes. [9] It develops as cartilage is lost and the underlying bone becomes affected. [1]

6. Glycosaminoglycan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosaminoglycan

   Three sulfation events of the CSGAG chains occur: 4-O and/or 6-O sulfation of GalNAc and 2-O sulfation of uronic acid. Four isoforms of the 4-O GalNAc sulfotransferases (C4ST-1, C4ST-2, C4ST-3, and D4ST-1) and three isoforms of the GalNAc 6-O sulfotransferases (C6ST, C6ST-2, and GalNAc4S-6ST) are responsible for the sulfation of GalNAc.

7. Shark liver oil - Wikipedia

   Shark liver oil has been misleadingly promoted as a treatment for cancer. In addition, it has been confused with the word "Charcoal" in multiple translations. Despite claims that the alkoxy - glycerols derived from shark liver oil could reduce tumor growth, there is not sufficient evidence to prove this to be a viable treatment option.
