Glucosamine Side Effects & Interactions Since it's already present within the human body, glucosamine is usually very safe and well-tolerated. Many studies have found that using glucosamine daily for 6 to 8 weeks improves symptoms in most adults and poses a very low risk of side effects. However, there are mes when it can cause side effects in some people, especially if they have an allergy to the source used to make glucosamine supplements. (Or if it interacts with another prescrip on.) If you have a known seafood/ shellfish allergy, make sure to carefully avoid supplements created from these sources by checking the label and ingredient informa on. Although rare, poten al side effects of glucosamine supplements include: indiges on, nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, cons pa on, skin reac ons and headaches. It's not well known how glucosamine effects women during pregnancy or while breas eeding, so it's best to avoid taking supplements during those mes unless being monitored. There's also some evidence that glucosamine supplements (usually when taken in high doses) might have the poten al to cause changes in cholesterol, insulin and blood sugar levels in people with diabetes or high cholesterol, so be careful if you fall into these categories and consider ge ng your doctor's advice.
