Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCl)

A foundational ingredient for cartilage support — the hydrochloride form with high glucosamine content.

Glucosamine HCl crystalline powder
CAS66-84-2
Molecular formulaC₆H₁₃NO₅·HCl
AppearanceWhite crystalline powder
Mechanism of action: Glucosamine is a natural component of the cartilage matrix and synovial fluid, and an essential precursor for proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis. As the body ages, its ability to synthesize glucosamine declines, which can accelerate cartilage wear. The hydrochloride form delivers a high concentration of glucosamine per dose.
