Glucosamine Sulfate Sodium Chloride

High-purity marine grade · 98–102% assay · natural crustacean origin · heavy metal free

Core composition & scientific basis

Superior purity & defined assay

Glucosamine Sulfate Sodium Chloride is produced to meet stringent pharmacopoeial standards with a guaranteed 98–102% content (on dried basis). Extremely low impurity profile ensures batch-to-batch reliability for premium nutraceutical formulations.

Authentic marine source

Sustainably extracted from natural shrimp and crab shells. This marine-derived glucosamine retains full bioactivity and provides the clinically documented sulfate form, essential for cartilage support.

Stabilized sodium chloride matrix

The sodium chloride (NaCl) salt form offers excellent physical and chemical stabilization, preventing deliquescence and improving long-term storage stability. It also ensures consistent dissolution and bioavailability.

✓ Assay: 98–102%✓ Heavy metals: non-detectable / compliant✓ Origin: shrimp & crab shells✓ Stabilized sodium chloride form

Clinical relevance: Glucosamine Sulfate provides the sulfate ion required for proteoglycan synthesis in articular cartilage. The sodium chloride stabilization does not interfere with absorption and is the preferred grade in many established joint health studies.

Formulation flexibility & application forms

Available finished formats

  • Tablets & capsules – standard, enteric-coated, or vegetarian
  • Powder blends – bulk powder, stick packs, sachets
  • Effervescent granules – fast dissolving options
  • Two-piece hard capsules & chewables

Strategic combination partners

  • Glucosamine Sulfate + Chondroitin Sulfate
  • Glucosamine Sulfate + Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM)
  • + Vitamin D3, Calcium, or Boswellia serrata
  • + Hyaluronic acid for synergistic joint support

B2B custom solutions

  • OEM/ODM ready: private labeling, custom blends
  • Controlled particle size and powder flowability
  • Clean label friendly – minimal excipient requirement

The sodium chloride grade offers excellent flow properties and compressibility, ideal for direct compression tableting and high-speed encapsulation.

Stability, bioavailability & dosage guidelines

Stability profile & storage

Thanks to the sodium chloride stabilization, Glucosamine Sulfate Sodium Chloride demonstrates outstanding stability at ambient conditions (25°C / 60% RH) for 36+ months. It resists moisture absorption and maintains ≥98% assay throughout its shelf life. No cold chain required — optimized for global logistics.

Bioavailability & absorption

Glucosamine Sulfate is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The sulfate moiety (provided by the salt) contributes to circulating sulfate pools needed for cartilage matrix synthesis. Peak plasma levels are typically reached within 1–2 hours post-ingestion.

Recommended dosage (B2B reference)

  • Maintenance dosage: 750 – 1000 mg/day
  • Therapeutic dose: 1500 mg once daily or divided
  • Combination guidelines: 1500 mg Glucosamine Sulfate + 1200 mg Chondroitin typical
  • Clean label benefit: high purity reduces need for anti-caking agents or glidants
