The hydrochloride variant of Glucosamine contains more glucosamine than Sulphate, and therefore the recommended daily dosage might be reduced from 1,500 to 1,200 mg per day.
Glucosamine is an aminopolysaccharide (a combination of an amino acid - glutamine and a sugar - glucose). Glucosamine is concentrated in joint cartilage where it is incorporated in longer chains known as glycosaminoglycans and finally into very large structures known as proteoglycans. The proteoglycans function to attract water into the joint space for lubrication of the cartilage during movement.
Our Glucosamine HCL is food grade from a crustean source and contains no bovine products.
