What are the Health Risks?

  • Some people experience insomnia, upset stomach and bloating but most of these symptoms are mild.
  • There were some case studies that showed that people who take glucosamine supplements developed significant liver damage, but those glucosamine products also contained other active ingredients. And it was not known how much was in those supplements. But there are no studies that shown that this would cause liver damage with supplements only containing glucosamine.
  • It may affect blood sugar and if you have diabetes you may want to talk to your doctor before adding it into your diet.

A recommended healthy dosage of glucosamine supplementation would be 1500 milligrams daily. And this dosage can be taken in one or several doses within the day to meet the 1500 milligrams. Most studies that show that up to 90% of glucosamine that you take make it to your liver.
