Glucosamine 1500 mg Capsules
Are you looking for a glucosamine formula that goes beyond just glucosamine? This product from LUTO Supplements delivers 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate 2KCl per daily dose (3 capsules), supplemented with MSM, bamboo silica, devil's claw, pine bark extract, and a range of vitamins and minerals. Three capsules a day, that's it. The bottle contains 90 capsules, enough for one month.
What glucosamine sulfate 2KCl actually is
Glucosamine is an amino sugar that occurs naturally in cartilage and connective tissue. In supplement form, it is usually extracted from crustacean chitin. The addition of "2KCl" in glucosamine sulfate 2KCl refers to potassium chloride, a salt that keeps the molecule stable. That sounds technical, but it basically means that the glucosamine in this form is well preserved and consistently delivers the same amount. This product delivers 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate per daily dose (3 capsules).
The role of vitamin C with D3 and K1 in this formula
This formula also contains 90 mg of vitamin C, 7.5 µg of vitamin D3, and 252 µg of vitamin K1. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage. Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin K does too. Vitamin C also contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress.
MSM with bamboo silica and the rest of the profile
In addition to glucosamine sulfate 2KCl, the daily dose contains 99 mg of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), an organic sulfur compound. Bamboo silica extract (105 mg, standardized to 75% silicon) is a plant-based source of silicon. In addition, there are 99 mg of devil's claw, 100 mg of pine bark extract, and the minerals manganese and copper in the formula. That combination makes this broader than a standard glucosamine capsule.
Glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride
There are several forms of glucosamine. The two best known are glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride. The difference lies in the sulfate component: glucosamine sulfate contains sulfate in addition to glucosamine, the hydrochloride variant does not. LUTO Supplements has chosen the stabilized sulfate form (2KCl).
