Glucosamine as a Dietary Supplement Glucosamine is available to purchase by itself, in combination with chondroitin sulfate, or in combination with several other compounds as a nutritional supplement. Glucosamine is sometimes used for the treatment of osteoarthritis, among other conditions, although some research suggests it may be beneficial, clinical trials have not categorically proven these supplements to be beneficial for the joints. Based on results in what is known as the GAIT trial, the American College of Rheumatology recommends against the use of glucosamine to treat osteoarthritis....

Though GAGs are best known for increasing hydration of the skin, they are also essential in keeping epidermal and dermal cells healthy and keeping collagen and elastin in good condition. For these reasons, they are an incredibly popular ingredient in skincare products. In addition to keeping skin youthful-appearing and healthy, glycosaminoglycans are used in the body as a lubricant for joints, for supporting connective tissues such as cartilage and tendons, and may even help assist with weight loss....

The champions head to the capital on Sunday for their first game in the second half of Germany’s domestic season. Gnabry was forced to miss part of the mid-season training camp in Doha due to problems with his Achilles tendon, which he sustained at the start of the month. However, Bayern confirmed on their website that the 24-year-old winger completed the full 90 minutes of training on Thursday, including a match....

Last night Greece pulled off a shock win over the Group A favorites Russia. The Russians may have imagined to have an easy outing as the game looked pretty one sided on pen and paper. But certainly Greece had other plans. The solitary goal from Karagounis was enough to defeat a resilient Russian side which had all of its famed attackers in Dzagoev, Pavluchenco and Pogrebenyak on field. Unfortunately, it was ‘head to head’ which decided their fate in their Group, instead of goal-difference....

There was less at stake the last time the teams last went head-to-head at the World Cup, a 4-2 victory for France in the third-place match in 1986. That was the last competitive match between the two countries but there have been eight international friendlies since. Belgium won two of those, including the last one: an exhibition three years ago at Stade de France when the Belgians took a three-goal lead five minutes into the second half and held on to win 4-3....

The South Pacific islander was in his country’s squad for the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Brazil in 2006, where his team beat Cameroon 5-2. Six years later, Huia made his debut during Brazil 2014 Football World Cup qualifying, by coming on as a substitute for injured first choice custodian Samson Koti in a 6-1 defeat to New Zealand. His next stint with the team was in November 2012, when he traveled to Thailand for the FIFA Futsal World Cup....

In case you didn’t know… Messi and Ronaldo have been the subjects of one of football’s most intense debates for over a decade and it is exactly this consistency that makes the conversation enduring. The talismanic pair have raised the bar for other football players to unprecedented heights with their flair, goalscoring abilities and complementary consistency. Both players, who are in their thirties, continue to break individual records and win titles with their respective clubs....

The 2018 God of War game hinted at other pantheons existing that Kratos may have spent some time in before coming to Norway, and now fans are finally getting to see some of that backstory. Even though fans are still waiting for news about God of War: Ragnarok, speculation is already beginning about what could come after it.

Santa Monica is without a doubt a talented team, and ranks neck and neck with other first party PlayStation studios like Naughty Dog and Insomniac. With every new release, the bar is raised in terms of what is pulled off, as the battles are bigger and storylines more engaging. God of War was the most ambitious title to date for the franchise, and with the Thor tease at the end of the game, it seems that the seeds are being planted for the next installment to somehow be even bigger....

The last God of War is full of details which hint at how the events of Ragnarok might unfold in the upcoming game. Here’s how these hints relate to Atreus as a playable character, and how an older, fully-powered Atreus could potentially fit into the next game’s plot.

The concept art has been posted on NeoGAF, after initially being obtained by NerdLeaks. NeoGAF user shinobi602 confirmed the leaks to be accurate, but also expressed regret that the leak occurred, as NerdLeaks apparently bypassed a password-protected portion of former Sony Santa Monica artist Finnian Macmanus’ website in order to obtain the alleged God of War 4 concept art. The concept art shows many different locations that appear to be based on Asgard, complete with the rainbow bridge and what appears to be the great hall of Valhalla....

It started when IGN’s Jonathon Dornbush put out the following question on Twitter today: “What is your dream superhero game and which developer would you want to make it?” The question was met with hundreds of replies from users dreaming up their ideal superhero game, with highlights including an Uncharted-style Naughty Dog game starring Wolverine, a Devil May Cry-esque Teen Titans game from Capcom, and a Doctor Strange game from Remedy in the vein of its mind-bending shooter Control....

Qizilbash’s declaration of God of War’s ultimate brutality in the action-adventure franchise came during an interview during GameStop Expo 2017 in Las Vegas, and can be found at the 5:36:30 mark in the video below. Those who wish to hear the full interview with Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Vice President of Marketing – some of which doesn’t necessarily pertain to God of War at all – can do so starting at 5:30:30....

While the God of War games may not be that lengthy, getting the platinum trophy in any title can be challenging. However, one fan has managed to complete an impressive feat by collecting every trophy in the entire series in less than a month. RELATED: God of War Fan Gets Incredible Tattoo Based on the Franchise A Reddit user named Throwawayeconboi has shared an image confirming that they have unlocked the platinum trophy in every God of War game in just 25 days....

While Williams’s comment was likely made in jest, it serves as yet another reminder that one of gaming’s most iconic franchises has been stuck in limbo for nearly a decade by now, with its latest mainline installment being 2014’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Since then, Konami has only greenlit two pachinko games and Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, a mobile spinoff that was soft-launched and promptly canceled in 2019, only to reappear on Apple Arcade last year....

With games like Horizon Forbidden West and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart already on the PlayStation 5, the upcoming God of War Ragnarok has a lot to live up to when it joins the growing list of well-received PlayStation 5 sequels later this year. The pressure has also been piled on the yet-to-be-released follow-up to 2018’s God of War with accolades like Most Anticipated Game awarded at the 2020 Golden Joystick Awards....

According to a recent New Year group interview with Weekly Famitsu that involved Ashimine and several other developers, the Sony producer promised that Japanese audiences will receive a high-quality localization for God of War, and then went on to mention that the team will likely be able to announce the release date soon. Of course, Ashimine-san failed to provide an exact time frame as to when fans should expect it to happen....

To be clear, the trailer is fully CG and is not comprised of actual game footage, but it should give fans a feel for the tone, world, and experience developer Sony Santa Monica hopes players will get from this newest game in the God of War franchise. After all, the core story of the new game is a father and his son. On Sony’s US YouTube channel, this one-minute trailer is titled “Full TV Commercial” so it’s likely that it (or a shorter version of it) will be spotted during TV commercial breaks over the next month until the game’s launch on April 20....

These are far from the only tweaks and alterations that have been revealed for God of War thus far, and if a recent discussion between the game’s director and one of its fans on the social media platform of Twitter is any indication, the title could have another dramatic shift in design by introducing alternative paths during gameplay. As God of War’s director Cory Barlog tweeted as a response to a fan that confirmed the demo as having multiple pathways to reach one’s end destination, it intimates that the final version could as well....

More than mere fun is Twombly’s elegant retrospective exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. (The show runs through Jan. 10, then travels to Houston, Los Angeles and Berlin.) For all its look of chance, Twombly’s work is fearlessly composed and passionately colored. The best of his paintings–such as “The Triumph of Galatea” (1961)–are like vast desert dunes with scattered flowers growing in them. But the dunes are cut into perfect rectangles and the flower seeds have been delicately sown by dreams....
