I originally posted in supplement section but got no replies. I'm going to costco soon so I need a quicker answer.
Okay which is better glucosamine sulfate or HCL? My old chiropractor told me it was sulfate but I cannot remember the reasoning behind it. HCL seems to be more readily available and cheaper. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
What are you trying to accomplish with glucosamine ?
Just as a joint supplement. I've recently aded msm and have taken glucosamine sulfate for the last few years. However there's cheaper glucosamine hal at Costco. If there's no difference it saves me a trip out of my way to whole foods to get glucosamine sulfate.
Mostly knees

Do 2-3g a day, get one thats cheaper!
Austin asked because Glucosamine, and its synergistically supporting ancillaries Chondroitin and MSM, is specifically for cartilage support/regeneration. It won’t impact tendon, ligament, or lubrication conditions.
The best products contain all three, but they work separately (to a lesser degree) as well. With regard to Glucosamine vs. Glucosamine HCL, there is a negligible difference…i.e. as Gaspaco said, “…get one that’s cheaper”!
Thanks guys I'll get the one with chondroitin I've got the MSM powder and take 5g per day as recommended by TR.
Good call, MSN works better. If that doesnt help look into the TB-500 log.
This. Thanks, magic.Quote:
