Hi @bwillms7,
Welcome to Connect. Here’s some information from Mayo Clinic about glucosamine: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-glucosamine/art-20362874
In general, glucosamine is thought to be safe. However, as with any medication, there may be a few side effects and drug interactions. A study, published in 2013 found that it may increase the risk of glaucoma.

I’d like to introduce you to a few members who’ve written about taking this supplement; please meet @kahli @jakedduck1 @mister2 @exboater and @predictable. May I ask if you would also share a few more details about yourself, @bwillms7?
