Glucosamine: Not helpful, can be harmful with Dr Mark Donohoe and Andrew Whitfield-Cook

Recent media attention would have us believe that the use of glucosamine supplements is ineffective and harmful, and that the risks outweigh any benefit. In this episode, our FX Omics and FX Medicine podcast hosts, Dr Mark Donohoe and Andrew Whitfield-Cook, join forces to examine the story that hit headlines sensationalising the outcomes of one particular study which urged patients to stop taking their glucosamine products. Andrew and Mark expertly take us through a balanced look at the scientific evidence for glucosamine, the adverse event reporting and demonstrate why it's important to seek considered clinical advice from a qualified health professional.
