Product Desription
There are no edible food sources of glucosamine, so when our bodies fail to manufacture sufficient natural glucosamine, supplementation is useful to help maintain levels. There are two types of glucosamine available - sulphate and hydrochloride. Is one better than the other?
Sulphate and hydrocholride are just the delivery vehicle in which we absorb it - the glucosamine element is the active ingredient we are looking for. Glucosamine sulphate is the 'original' form and most research has been done on this because historically it has been more available. Glucosamine hydrochloride is relatively new but trials have shown it to be equally effective. People choose the hydrochloride form if they are looking for a lower salt content than the sulphate form.
Please note that some glucosamine hydrochloride products are in fact made from crustaceans, with the hydrochloride salt simply being chosen instead of the sulphate. However, this Lamberts® product is guaranteed to be from a vegetable source.
