Pure glucosamine sulfate 0% additives
Glucosamine Sulfate powder from RawSeries is a product from HSN's RAW range made solely and exclusively from potassium chloride salts of glucosamine sulfate.
Glucosamine sulfate salts are the newest, most effective way to add glucosamine to your diet, according to the latest scientific research, which shows superior effectiveness compared to the 'as is' glucosamine sulfate form or other presentations like hydrochloride.
With HSN enjoy a pure presentation, with no additives whatsoever, of glucosamine sulfate salts for your daily nutrition.
The best pure raw material on the market for your RAW combos
In the form of glucosamine sulfate salts - Greater effectiveness
According to the most current scientific literature reports, potassium chloride glucosamine sulfate salts are the most effective form to provide this important amino sugar found in many parts of our body, especially joints.

The preference for the sulfate form over hydrochloride had already been more or less clearly established, especially if we don’t refer to the elemental content of pure glucosamine, where hydrochloride is superior, but rather to a more holistic view of bioavailability and clinical research.
Glucosamine sulfate salts have been established as even superior to glucosamine sulfate as such.
High base content of D-Glucosamine. Optimal nutritional contribution
In glucosamine sulfate salts, glucosamine sulfate exists once the 'mineral salt' part (the 2KCl) is removed.
The net glucosamine sulfate contribution is three quarters of the full potassium chloride glucosamine sulfate salt.
In turn, glucosamine sulfate, if we remove the sulfate part as our body does, provides the valued form of D-glucosamine base, at a concentration of 78.5%.
Therefore, potassium chloride glucosamine sulfate salt is one of the best ways to provide a high elemental content of glucosamine sulfate (and D-Glucosamine) in your daily nutrition.
Plant-based origin: Suitable for vegans and allergen-free
Glucosamine, in any of its forms, is generally obtained from crab shells, as it is a polymer contained in their exoskeleton.
However, this source has several drawbacks, starting with the fact that glucosamine is no longer suitable for vegan diets since it comes from an animal.
On the other hand, it’s impossible to isolate the crustacean allergen from the raw material, no matter how pure it is, when it comes from marine animals. Also, exposure to contaminants naturally present in seawater means the raw material must be meticulously treated to remove any residues and heavy metals the crustacean exoskeleton might retain.
Our glucosamine sulfate is obtained through natural, controlled fermentation of plant sources, allowing us to get a raw material of food grade suitable for vegans; completely and naturally free of any marine contaminant residues.
No flavorings, no sweeteners. No additives of any kind
Pure glucosamine sulfate is rare in the supplement market, as companies prefer to mask its taste or improve its presentation by adding flavors, mixing it with other ingredients, or simply presenting it in capsules/tablets.
At HSN we appreciate having a pure product option, since like us, many supplement users want to make their own homemade blends with various interesting compounds, in doses tailored to their needs.
And that’s what we bring you: with our RAW glucosamine sulfate you get a pure product, it’s the authentic raw material of potassium chloride glucosamine sulfate salts with no additives of any kind, perfect to combine with your favorite supplements.
Anyway, if you want a more convenient presentation already pre-dosed and ready to take without measuring, you have D-Glucosamine Sulfate in high concentration tablet format (1000mg).
Optimized granularity for better dispersion in drinks
Powders that don’t mix homogeneously when making shakes (unlike protein, for example) must be studied to check which mesh or particle size works best in blends.
At HSN we take this very seriously, since it directly affects product usability, and we aim for our supplements to be optimal not only in purity and function but also in organoleptic properties.
The particle size of HSN’s RAW glucosamine sulfate salts has been adapted to the best size for homogeneous dispersion and suspension of the powder in drinks. This way, it dissolves easily in cold-warm or hot mixes, and the time before it settles at the bottom of the glass (loss of suspension) is longer.
Enjoy the best organoleptic properties of a product with controlled optimal characteristics.
No flavorings - what does it taste like and how to improve it?
Pure glucosamine sulfate powder should not have additives, if you’re looking for a raw product, here it is as such, and you don’t have to worry about how many non-active ingredients it contains.
When glucosamine sulfate is consumed pure as is, without compounds masking its natural taste, it is perceived as intensely bitter:
Bitterness is the natural taste of authentic glucosamine sulfate.
If you prefer to tone down this natural flavor, you can use the HSN flavoring for amino acids and sugar-free sports drinks, and adjust the amount of flavor you want to add to your blends or RAW single-ingredient compounds.
Enjoy all the options HSN offers!
Recommended product combinations by HSN specialists
Glucosamine sulfate is a compound that can be used alone; however, there are certain nutrients that combine excellently with it. Notably the most well-known:
Don’t miss the most famous 3-in-1 combo of Glucosamine + Chondroitin + MSM in high concentration tablet format with the product Evoflex from HSN SportSeries.
The best supplements within your reach!
Usage recommendations | is this product for me?
Glucosamine sulfate can be used by all kinds of people, since unlike popular belief, it’s not limited to athletes.
Keep in mind that there are no major glucosamine sources in a typical diet, and the most concentrated ones, which are actually not very concentrated, come from cartilage-rich offal like trachea, ear, or bone broth; foods very uncommon in the West.
Don’t miss out on using the high-quality glucosamine sulfate you’re looking for!
