Question:
\n<\/strong>According to your scientific insights, what is the maximum allowed dosage of glucosamine a day? Can a woman around their fifties take circa 3000 mg on a daily basis? My mother is using two tablets of 750 mg a day and wants to raise the amount to 4 tablets. I wanted to check the safety of this high dosage with you.

\r\n \"Glucosamine\"<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong>
\nWe advise against this. A higher dosage of 3000 mg will probably not have any more effect. Moreover, the chance of side effects will become greater. Such a high dosage can have a negative impact on the insulin sensitivity and may lead to problems involving the blood sugar level on the long term.<\/p>\n

If glucosamine does not have the wished effect at the recommended amount, it is more safe and effective to start combining glucosamine with chondroitin (1200 mg a day).<\/p>\n

Another even better supplement that can replace glucosamine and chondroitin is Arthro-5. It does not only contain glucosamine and chondroitin, but also MSM, ASU and Hyal-Joint.<\/p>\n
