No. There is no role of glucosamines in established arthritis. Calcium and vitamin d3 definitely help prevent osteoporosis. Arthritis requires a non medical and medical management together. We need to assess the patient and advice further. Regards,

Try glucosamine with chondroitin sulphate. And without exercises, no nutritional supplement is good enough.
