Walter Descalzo  (2007-02-09 03:22:21) what's the difference between glocusamine sulfate & glocusamine hydrochloride?

Webmaster - John  (2007-02-13 05:29:00) The difference between glucosamine sulfate & glucosamine hydrochloride is that the hydrochloride form is more concentrated than the sulfate form, and the hydrochloride form contains substantially less sodium per effective dose than the sulfate form.

Moderator - J. Benot  (2007-02-17 09:29:11) Both Glucosamine hydrochloride and Glucosamine sulfate are used in order to cure Osteoarthiritis. From the clinical studies done so far there is no evidence that glucosamine sulfate offers advantages over glucosamine hydrochloride.

Thomas J Johnson III  (2007-02-26 15:36:09) If I am weighting 184lbs. How much of the Glocusamine should I be taking.

Moderator - J. Benton  (2007-02-27 10:36:55) The labeling often recommends an initial dose of 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate and 1200 mg of chondroitin sulfate for 60 days, then a maintenance dose of 500 mg of each daily following that. Don’t forget the fact that because glocusamine is a sugar, some have suggested that large doses may increase your risk of developing diabetes.
