Glucosamine and chondroitin may be an effective treatment in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), according to a study. In the current study, scientists evaluated the potential use of glucosamine and chondroitin in reducing the risk of CRC. They analyzed information from 75,137 Washington residents who had participated in the Vitamins and Lifestyle (VITAL) study between 2000 and 2002. All participants completed a questionnaire detailing their supplement use and were followed for CRC through 2008. Read more here.
