Glucosamine and Chondroitin, two common supplements for joint nutrition, have little empirical evidence to support their use. A recent study found no benefit in the management of osteoarthritis but many patients report good responses to supplementation. Better outcomes seem to occur over long periods of use. I wouldn't say you must take them but you may find them useful. They are generally inexpensive with few side effects.
