What Is The Maximum Dosage Of Both Glucosamine And Chondroiton Recomended ?
What is the maximum dosage of both glucosamine and chondroiton recommended or allowed? I am taking Move Free and it has 1500mg/ glucosamine and 200 mg of chondroiton . I felt better during the first 2 weeks of "loading up" when I took 2 twice daily. Now I maintain on 2 once a day. Would it be safe to take 2 twice daily?
Hi, Welcome to HCM, After going through your details these are dietary supplements amino sugar,Glucosamine is often used combination with other supplements such as chondroitin sulfate. It is used in Osteoarthritis, you should discuss with Orthopedic surgeon it depends on condition of joint,there are no scientific evidence that they improve joint condition.There benefit is questionable? There can be following side effects Heartburn, epigastric pain/tenderness, diarrhea, nausea, dyspepsia, constipation, abdominal pain, palpitations, drowsiness, skin reaction, headache, indigestion. Hope this helps. Take care. Good Luck. Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
