Glucosamine Sulphate is the preferred form of Glucosamine over Hydrochloride as most clinical studies have used the sulphate version. However, the body uses both the same way, where the stomach acid splits Glucosamine from the (Hydrochloride or Sulphate) molecule to free glucosamine that can be used by the body.
Glucosamine provides the nutritional building blocks and nutrition for healthy joint cartilage and synovial fluids. Therefore, maintains healthy joint cartilage in horses and canines alike.
The ends of joints are coated in articular cartilage which cushions joint surfaces and prevents the friction of the two bones coming into contact, this cartilage must therefore stay healthy, hydrated and nourished to remain durable and resilient. Cartilage gets its nourishment from the synovial fluid by way of glycosaminoglycans, these of which are best known as glucosamine sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. By supplying these in your horses feed the body can therefore utilize in order to maintain healthy joints.
Glucosamine is recommended in conjunction with MSM to further protect joints by providing a counter effect to inflammation where it helps to reduce inflammatory markers.
