I can only say that, subjectively, I first discovered chondroitin in the form of shark cartilage at a small local drugstore, where I went to beg for help. My achilles tendons were crippling me and I was almost at wheelchair stage...I could not grocery shop, for example, it was impossible to walk with the pain. It was very frightening and came on over just a couple of weeks.
To tell the total truth, I meditated and asked "whoever" is out there what I could do to help myself as the doctor offered nothing except tendon stretches which I had always done anyway.
The word that came back to me was "cartilage".
I didn't know how to access cartilage. Buy a chicken and grind up the cartilage and drink it down?
The lady in the drugstore lifted a bottle of shark cartilage from the shelf and said many people were buying that for my kind of problem. I took it home and drank a glass of water with six of the capsules.
Four hours later, I was entirely pain free. As long as I took the shark cartilage (sometimes with glucosamine) the pain was gone. Eventually, the problem disappeared. I don't take it any more.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage and connecting tissues. Glucosamine, also known as chitosamine, is a substance that occurs naturally in the covering of shellfish.

There are 3 combined things that could help you: steroids for sale, physical therapy and of course a healthy balanced diet. All of these should be done under the supervision of a doctor that will monitor your results.

I am sorry but I don't think there is room for ambiguities here, it's true that the world of science is continuously improving the medical findings but we can't mistrust what we already know and doubt the current cures or remedies...

I guess my personal use of chondroitin and the relief it has provided my knees is just the placebo effect? Oh well, just another fool wasting his money.

I agree, diet and exercise are really the best; also, I use all-natural creams like Joint Medic. I try to avoid all pills as much as possible!

Personally, I fear these type of products. I have learned over the years, and I won't tout myself as an expert by any means, but my own experience has shown that moderate use of vitamins/supplements provides a little health boost that is sometimes needed.

Proper diet and exercise being the best way to maintain your good health.
