The hydrochloride variant of Glucosamine contains more glucosamine than Sulphate, and therefore recommended daily dosage might be reduced from 1,500 to 1,200 mg per day. However, research in the HydroChloride variant is limited, and it is not fully known whether the same amount is absorbed during digestion than for Sulphate.
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.
