Your mom will need to take 150mg glucosamine for the rest of her life if she has osteoarthritis.  It keeps the joints and their connective tissues lubricated, as they dry up as we age.  

Some people respond quickly, and others feel no effect at all.  There are also exercises that help.  The main thing is not to let the joints seize up.  Keep active.
