Description Glucozamine

The information in the FAQ section was created by the Liki24.co.uk team and is based on the official manufacturer's manual

What is glucosamine? Glucosamine is a natural compound found in cartilage. It is also available as a supplement for joint health.

Forms of release

Glucosamine is available in several forms, mainly capsules containing glucosamine sulphate. The concentrations available vary. There are also ointments containing glucosamine and injectable glucosamine.

Indications for use

Glucosamine has anti-inflammatory properties and protects cartilage through several mechanisms. It protects the cells that maintain the structure of cartilage, slows down cartilage deterioration and reduces joint pain. It also helps improve bone health. Glucosamine supplements are recommended for arthritis and osteoarthritis, to reduce joint pain, prevent knee pain in athletes (mechanical stress) and for bone cartilage regeneration.

Dosage and administration

Dosages vary depending on the product, concentrations, other active ingredients and medical conditions. Usually, 1-3 tablets per day are recommended, generally equivalent to 1200-1500 mg of glucosamine per day. However, keep in mind that doses may vary from person to person. Take as recommended by your doctor.

Contraindications

There are also some contraindications for glucosamine. The product is contraindicated in case of allergy or sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the glucosamine supplement. Sometimes precautions may be necessary in the presence of certain conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, asthma, allergies or haematological problems. Talk to your doctor before starting treatment with glucosamine.

Interactions with other medicines and foods

Tell your doctor about any other treatments you are taking to avoid drug interactions. Interactions with the following classes of medicines should be considered: anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, substances used in chemotherapy, anticoagulants (they enhance their effect).

Side effects

Glucosamine is generally safe and does not cause adverse effects. It may rarely cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, or itching of the skin. It is recommended that supplements be taken with food to avoid such reactions.

Overdose

Take as recommended by your doctor and avoid excessive doses.

Storage

Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
