Just 3 supplements that can do miracle for some people with arthritis and osteoarthritis:
Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
Only one of them: barely any effect
Two of them: some effect, but you got to use it for some months to see
The 3 together: faster effect!

Commentary:
While combination products containing chondroitin sulfate CS and glucosamine hydrocloride GH have shown benefit, I am not convinced that glucosamine hydrochloride is as beneficial as glucosamine sulfate.
While glucosamine has shown significant clinical benefit (see above), unfortunately several large, well-publicized studies utilized glucosamine hydrochloride and failed to show benefit.
It is thought that the sulfur component is critical to the overall effect of GS.
In combination products containing CS and GH, the CS may be simply supplying an expensive form of sulfur.
I prefer combination products that contain glucosamine and methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM), a physiological form of sulfur.
MSM has also shown benefits on its own in osteoarthritis by stabilising collagen and other connective tissue components.
MSM works synergistically with glucosamine as well as trace minerals such as manganese and boron that aid in the manufacture of cartilage components and the promotion of bone health.
Also, Theracurmin, the best absorbed form of curcumin, has also been shown to support joint health.
