Glucosamine

In 2018 the MHRA reviewed Glucosamine use and set a limit for supplements, anything higher was deemed a medicinal dose and would require a medicines licence.

Anything at or above 1178mg of Glucosamine (base) is deemed a pharmacological dose, food supplements would have to be lower.

To ensure this clear space can be demonstrated, discussions between HFMA, CRN UK, and PAGB have led to an upper level, for guidance purposes only as follows: 1100mg Glucosamine (base) …which is equivalent to: 1400mg Glucosamine Sulphate, 1325mg Glucosamine Hydrochloride, or 1858mg Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCL
