Glucosamine sulfate 1000mg is your go-to supplement

Glucosamine Sulfate 1000mg from EssentialSeries is a tablet product made from dipotassium chloride salts of glucosamine sulfate, the most effective form of glucosamine sulfate, in a complete formula that provides a high concentration of manganese.

Glucosamine is an amino sugar found in the human body, with a high concentration in joints and cartilage, where it forms part of keratin along with hyaluronic acid. HSN’s formula has been developed with the best raw materials according to what scientific research indicates.

The best form of glucosamine sulfate salts

2KCl, what it means and why it’s the best possible form

Glucosamine sulfate is the most valued form of glucosamine according to scientific studies on the validity and nutritional use of the compound.

There are multiple scientific studies that highlight the superior properties of glucosamine sulfate salts compared to the 'as is' form:

•  Persiani, S., Roda, E., Rovati, L. C., Locatelli, M., Giacovelli, G., & Roda, A. (2005). Glucosamine oral bioavailability and plasma pharmacokinetics after increasing doses of crystalline glucosamine sulfate in man. Osteoarthritis and cartilage, 13(12), 1041–1049.
•  Akarasereenont, P., Chatsiricharoenkul, S., Pongnarin, P., Sathirakul, K., & Kongpatanakul, S. (2009). Bioequivalence study of 500 mg glucosamine sulfate in Thai healthy volunteers. Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet, 92(9), 1234–1239.

High elemental glucosamine content. Top nutritional quality for your supplement

Glucosamine sulfate salts can be configured in different ways; the structural chemical differences of the available forms determine the amount of elemental glucosamine contained.

Each 1000 mg of the complete glucosamine sulfate 2KCl salt provides 591.7 mg of elemental D-Glucosamine, which corresponds to 59% of the total content of the complex in elemental form.

Plant-based source. Free from marine allergens unlike other market options

Glucosamine is often extracted from the hydrolysis of aminopolysaccharides from crustacean exoskeletons, like crab shells.

At HSN we reject the use of crustaceans for developing our chondroitin sulfate, since it’s not possible to develop the complex with the optimal characteristics we seek, and because thanks to our development:

We use plant-based sources to obtain glucosamine sulfate of maximum purity and nutritional quality through fermentation.

With manganese. A complete synergistic formula with the best mineral salt

HSN’s glucosamine sulfate is prepared in tablet form with manganese citrate mineral salt.

Manganese citrate is a highly valued mineral salt for its high bioavailability, meaning it’s efficiently absorbed and properly used by the body. This is key since many mineral salts sold in supplements have suboptimal effectiveness due to using cheap mineral forms.

1 mg of manganese per dose, from manganese citrate as a highly bioavailable mineral salt.

Uncoated tablets. Fast and efficient absorption – check it out!

At HSN we reject the use of additives for aesthetic reasons, and coatings or lacquers are aesthetic additives that not only unnecessarily increase the amount of non-functional ingredients in the supplement but can also have negative functional effects.

Sulfate or Hydrochloride (HCl)? Which one should I choose?

At HSN you can find both the hydrochloride or HCl form, known as Glucosamine HCl, which differs in nutritional properties but not in function from glucosamine sulfate.

The net glucosamine content of hydrochloride is higher than sulfate, by 24%, since it provides 83% of its total content as D-Glucosamine base.

This might make you think HCl is a superior form; however, despite being an excellent supplement, most scientific research focuses on the properties of glucosamine sulfate and more specifically its salts, so depending on your reasoning, you can choose sulfate or hydrochloride—both are excellent forms of D-Glucosamine.

A formula for connective tissue – ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.

EssentialSeries’ glucosamine sulfate 1000mg formula is much more complete than just providing the pure active glucosamine compound.

If you want to use just glucosamine sulfate as a pure single ingredient, you can opt for the RAW powder form of glucosamine sulfate.

However, the Essentials tablet formula is optimized thanks to its additional properties, since the manganese it contains:

•  Contributes to maintaining normal bone health.
•  Contributes to normal connective tissue formation.

Ideal for athletes, who else can use it?

Glucosamine sulfate, due to its composition, is the ideal product for sports use, especially for athletes with higher joint load, like runners or team sport players.

However, this supplement isn’t limited to just sports use as other groups benefit greatly from its daily dietary supplementation. For example:

•  Older adults.
•  Adults doing physically demanding work.

HSN recommended combos. Don’t miss any updates!

Glucosamine has a series of compounds that combined form the most famous care combo based on supplements. Who hasn’t heard of:

You can find this compound combo in the Evoflex formula, which provides the most recognized 3-in-1 nutritional combo.

Don’t forget to combine glucosamine sulfate with UC-II®! an ideal supplement for pairing.
