Hi Vita...

Here is the summary from a review of the safety of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.

"The OSL risk assessment method indicates that the evidence strongly supports safety at intakes up to 2000 mg/d for glucosamine, and 1200 mg/d for chondroitin sulfate..."  "These values represent the highest levels tested in human clinical trials.  The complete absence of adverse effects at these levels supports a confident conclusion of their long-term safety."

Best wishes and good luck.
