This means, 12,000mg of glucosamine HCl (a typical daily serve), is not the same as 12,000mg of glucosamine sulphate. Glucosamine HCl is typically 83% actual glucosamine and glucosamine sulphate is typically only 60% actual glucosamine. Therefore, a supplement providing 12,000mg glucosamine HCl per serve actually provides 10,300mg glucosamine, whereas a supplement stating 12,000mg glucosamine sulphate per serve only provides 7200mg actual glucosamine. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients \u0026amp; Nutrition\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlucosamine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the key compounds in supporting joint health, and has 3 important roles:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo stimulate the production of the proteoglycans which help produce the strong, elastic, shock-absorbing properties of the collagen matrix in the cartilage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo help maintain cartilage health\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHelps support the horses’ own anti-inflammatory processes.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMSM \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eis a powerful antioxidant and helps support the horses’ own anti-inflammatory systems, as well as a bioavailable source of organic sulphur, which is a vital component of key amino acids and vitamins.
