Pure Glucosamine Sulphate 0% additives

Glucosamine Sulphate Powder by RawSeries is a product from HSN's RAW range made solely and exclusively from potassium chloride salts of glucosamine sulphate.

Glucosamine sulphate salts are the most effective new form of glucosamine in the diet, as the latest scientific research shows superior effectiveness over regular glucosamine sulphate or other forms such as hydrochloride.

With HSN you can enjoy a pure presentation of glucosamine sulphate salts for your daily diet without any additives.

In the form of glucosamine sulphate salts - Greater effectiveness

According to the latest findings in the scientific literature, glucosamine sulphate chloride salts are the most effective way of supplying this important aminosaccharide present in many areas of the body, especially in the joints.

The preference of the sulphate form over the hydrochloride had already been more or less clearly established, especially if we do not refer to the elemental content of pure glucosamine, where hydrochloride is superior, but to a more holistic view of bioavailability and clinical research.

High basic content of D-Glucosamine. Optimal nutritional supply

In glucosamine sulphate salts there is glucosamine sulphate, once the 'mineral salt' part (the 2KCl) has been removed.

The net supply of glucosamine sulphate is three-quarters of the full salt of glucosamine sulphate dipotassium chloride.

In turn, glucosamine sulphate, if we remove the sulphate part, as our body does, provides the highly prized D-glucosamine base form, at a concentration of 78.5%.

Plant-based: Suitable for vegans and allergen-free

However, there are several drawbacks to this method of production, starting with the fact that glucosamine is no longer suitable for vegan diets as it is derived from an animal.

On the other hand, it is not possible to isolate the crustacean allergen from the raw material, no matter how pure, when its origin is from marine animals. In addition, exposure to contaminants naturally contained in seawater means that the raw material needs to be meticulously treated to remove any residues and heavy metals that the crustacean exoskeleton may retain.

No flavourings or sweeteners. No additives of any kind

Pure glucosamine sulphate is rare in the food supplement market, as companies prefer to mask its flavour or improve its presentation by adding flavourings, mixing it with other ingredients, or simply presenting it in capsules/tablets.

At HSN, we value the option of having a pure product, because, like us, many users of food supplements are interested in being able to make their own homemade blends, with various compounds of interest, in doses adjusted to their needs.

However, if you wish to use a more convenient presentation as it is already pre-dosed and ready to take without the need to measure anything, D-Glucosamine Sulphate is available in high-concentration tablet format (1000mg).

Optimised granulometry for better dissolution in drinks

Powders that do not mix homogeneously in shakes (as protein does), should be tested to ensure that the particle size mixes well.

The particle size of RAW glucosamine sulphate salts by HSN has been adapted to the best size for a homogeneous dissolution and suspension of the powder in drinks. In this way, it can be easily solubilised in cold-warm or hot blends, and the time to precipitation to the bottom of the beaker (loss of suspension) is longer.

No flavourings - What does it taste like and how can it be improved?

Pure glucosamine sulphate powder should not contain any additives. If you are looking for a raw product, you have our product, and we assure you that you don't have to worry about how much of the ingredients it contains are not pure active ingredients.

When glucosamine sulphate is consumed pure as such, without compounds to camouflage its natural taste, it is perceived as intensely bitter:

If you would prefer to tone down this specific flavour, you can use HSN's Flavouring for amino acids and sugar-free sports drinks, and regulate the amount of flavour you want to add to your RAW mono-ingredient blends.

Product combinations recommended by HSN experts

Glucosamine sulphate is a compound that can be used as such, in isolation; however, certain nutrients combine excellently with it. The best-known of these are as follows:

•  Chondroitin sulphate.
•  Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
•  Hydrolysed Collagen Bovine.
•  UC-II®.
•  Boswellia serrata extract.

Recommendations for use: Is it a product for me?

Glucosamine sulphate can be used by all types of people because contrary to popular belief, it is not limited to athletes.

Keep in mind that there are no major sources of glucosamine in the normal diet, and that the most concentrated sources, although not very concentrated, are cartilaginous tissue offal such as the trachea, ear, or bone broth; foods that are very rare in the West.
