Does glucosamine chondroitin cause weight gain?

I was also worried about this, but my weight stayed normal while taking it. Try not to worry too much and take care of your health.

I have thyroid issues so my weight fluctuates easily, but glucosamine chondroitin didn't cause any extra gain for me. However, if you feel heavy, it is best to get your TSH levels checked and ask your doctor.

Just check the source of the supplement as some contain animal derivatives, which might not suit a strict vegetarian diet. As for weight gain, it doesn't have any fat or sugar, so it shouldn't affect your scale as long as your daily diet is balanced.

No, it doesn't cause weight gain. I used it for 3 months and my weight remained exactly the same.

Don't stress about weight gain from this supplement. Just make sure you are doing basic stretching and a 30-minute brisk walk every evening. Keeping active is the best way to manage both joint pain and weight.

As someone working in health services, I can tell you there is no clinical evidence linking these supplements to weight gain. Sometimes people feel slightly bloated in the first few days, but that passes. Take it with your meals to avoid any mild stomach upset.
