Glucosamine and Cholesterol

[Guest guest]

I have a patients whose physician has requested she stop taking

glucosamine sulfate because it will increase her cholesterol levels.

I haven't read anything in the literature about this, has anyone

substantiated this? I would appreciate your input.

Be well,

Interesting question. I had a patient ask the same question this morning.

GNC.com has a Health notes section on the left side bar and clicking on

Vitamin Guide brings up an index. You can read their findings.
