2 Year STOPP Study on Chondroitin Confirms Cartilage Growth in Knee Arthritis
By Dr. Paul Anderson M.D. Sports and Pain Medicine Expert
Chondroitin is one of several super joint nutrients that supports healthy cartlage growth has been confirmed again by another strong European study. Notice the study was over two years.
Both Chondroitin and Glucosamine will help support healthy knee cartilage growth but you must take them daily in the right amounts for as long as you want healthier joints.
The thickening and healthy growth takes years but slows the progression of knee arthritis in most people.
STOPP (STudy on Osteoarthritis Progression Prevention): “A new two-year trial with chondroitin sulfate (CS)" A. Kahan (France), J.-Y. Reginster (Belgium), E. Vignon (France) Objective STOPP was a prospective, multicentre, randomised, parallel groups, double blind clinical study comparing 24 month orally administered Chondrosulf® (chondroitin 4&6 sulfate) 800 mg oad vs. placebo in 600 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Conclusions In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study Chondroitin reduced the joint space narrowing in knee arthritis in comparison to placebo as assessed by radiographic follow-up over 2 years. Long-term treatment with Chondroitin appears to delay radiographic progression in patients with knee arthritis.
These results are consistent with those already published by others.
