Precautions re: Allergies

CAUTIONS/INTERACTIONS: Persons with known allergies to shellfish should not take this product.

Precautions re: All Other

The only side effects reported with chondroitin sulfate usage appear to be mild gastrointestinal incidents. Similar adverse reactions have been reported with glucosamine and MSM, yet both of these compounds also are often suggested as supporting GI-tract health and function.* It was thought that glucosamine might adversely affect insulin sensitivity, but clinical trials have disproven this. The use of MSM can lead to the occurrence of an abnormal resonance in the in vivo brain proton MR spectrum as well as in an in vitro cerebrospinal fluid NMR study, hence should be revealed prior to undergoing these or related diagnostic tests.
