vitamin flex-a-min glucosamine chondroitin msm tablets triple strength?

Question 5

taking glucosamine chondroitin, resveraltrol, collagen, hyaluronic acid for 6 mo. will it (or additives in it) cause harmful effect on liver?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: First of all, why are you taking these supplements?  If they are high quality, pharmaceutical grade products, they will probably not cause liver damage.  My advice is to seek a consultation with a physician who is familiar with vitamins and supplements and come up with a plan to maximize your health.

Question 6

taking glucosamine chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, resveratrol supplements  for back. will taking all these together create liver issues?

Accepted Answer

Probably OK: Those  meds are herbalistic treatments and are not as effective as medications such as Motrin or naprosyn(advil or aleve (naproxen) over the counter versions.) do you know what is wrong with your back? A good evaluation by a spinal specialist could give you answers and help MAP out a treatment plan.

Question 7

is taking joint supplements containing glucosamine, msm, chondroitin harmful or has any side effects in any way, especially on the kidney or liver?

Accepted Answer

No way to tell : Unfortunately, dietary supplements are regulated as foods (as opposed to drugs).  As such, they are not required to undergo the same testing (or prove their claims to be true). Also, since no third party testing of their product is required - the ingredients listed don't even have to match what is in the bottle.  Wish I had a better answer ... Good luck!

Question 8

what are the side effects of glucosamine chondroitin for arthritis?

Accepted Answer

Mild side effects: Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is often taken as a nutritional supplement for arthritis.  In several large clinical trials the side effects were mild and infrequent consisting of constipation, stomach ache, rash and hives.  Since glucosamine is often made from the shells of crustaceans there is a theoretical risk of an allergic reaction for those with seafood allergies, but is rarely seen.

Question 9

side effects of using glucosamine & chondroitin for arthritis?

Accepted Answer

See below: I have not seen much in the way of side effects with these supplements.  A while back there was some speculation that glucosamine might raise the blood sugar in diabetics but this has not been the case. Like any medication or supplement, anyone can have side effects.

Accepted Answer

See details: Glucosamine will have no benefit. There is little data to suggest it has any benefit for low back pain. Instead, have the issue evaluated. There are many causes of low back pain. Do not self treat.
