March maundering.
Hmm, perhaps I have been a little flippant. I'll summarise:
Glucosamine hydrochloride, to my mind, is bloody effective in repairing damaged cartilage. The additives (chondroitin, boswellia, columbian marching powder etc) may also help, but at the end of the day, it's glucosamine hydrochloride that has worked for me. I have also used glucosamine sulfate, and for me it was significantly less effective.
In conjunction with anti-inflammatories (I use diclofenac [eg Voltaren] when things are bad, but I think it's Nigel who has recommended ibuprofen which does the same thing without the need for a prescription), joint pain is greatly minimised.
I don't believe glucosamine is any good at all for shin splints, achilles etc. It is purely for cartilage.
Hope that helps!
