Can I take Folic acid and Glucosamine together?

Why this happens

Folic acid (a B vitamin) and glucosamine (an amino sugar) are processed by the body through different pathways. They do not compete for absorption in the gut, nor do they interfere with how the liver breaks down or the kidneys remove each substance.

You can continue to take both supplements as directed by your healthcare provider or the product packaging. As with any supplement, if you notice any unusual side effects, you should consult your pharmacist or doctor.
