A. There are no known contraindications to glucosamaine supplementaion. Glucosamine appears safe and has few short-term side effects. Pregnant women, children, and very elderly people should avoid glucosamine since no studies among these specific populations exists. Patients taking blood-thinners should be extremely careful if they take glucosamine combined with chondroitin.
