I have just had this same discussion with Bruce. All of the medical
research on Glucosamine has shown not only better bioavailablility, but also
that the sulfate donates a sulfur (NOT sulfa) atom to the protein in the joint
fluid, which is a necessary ingredient inthe mix, and therefore works
better. I generally recommend specifically to my patients that they take
the sulfate version and not the hydrochloride.
