Hi,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you want to know about glucosamine . There is no term like glucosamine deficiency. Aging cause degeneration disease of joints called osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is used to treat it. It is considered as dietary supplement.There is nothing like warning to stop glucasamine after three months , it can be taken life long.There are no harm if you continue to take it longer.There are more benefit when it is taken along with chondriotin and MSM. MSM is metyl sulfonyl methane which help in regeneration of cartilage.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
