Glucosamine Sulfate

Glucosamine sulfate is a compound commonly included in equine joint supplements, since in the body it plays a key role in the formation and maintenance of cartilage, synovial fluid, and other connective tissues. Glucosamine sulfate is derived from shellfish exoskeletons or synthesized in laboratories.

In equine nutrition, glucosamine sulfate is included to support cartilage integrity and joint function. The sulfate form of glucosamine is believed to enhance absorption and bioavailability. While glucosamine sulfate is widely used in joint health products, its efficacy in horses is still a subject of ongoing research due to its low bioavailability.
