I have seen abstracts for peer-reviewed research studies which tested it alone (I'll try to find you some links), but that isn't relevant to me since I do take glucosamine and hyaluronic acid already. Chondroitin is the only one of those three that I can't find commercially available in non-animal form.
edit:
here is a good synopsis from University of Maryland Medical Center, with a long list of peer-reviewed journal articles at the end. Nobody there is selling anything. Bottom line, as for glucosamine or virtually any nutraceutical supplement, is that there are conflicting results. Some studies show a positive, statistically significant benefit, some don't.
