Glucosamine hydrochloride vs. Glucosamine sulphate
Glucosamine hydrochloride is often preferred to glucosamine sulphate for a number of reasons. The hydrochloride form is more concentrated than the sulphate form, plus the hydrochloride form contains substantially less sodium per dose than the sulphate form.
Glucosamine hydrochloride offers the promise of the same efficacy as glucosamine sulphate, since glucosamine is not absorbed intact with its carrier. The body doesn’t care how it gets glucosamine as long as it is bioavailable.
