How is the amount of Glucosamine and Ester C calculated against the human equivalent amount?
Glucosamine: A mature individual (say 175 lbs) should take about 1500 mg glucosamine per day, so that is about 8.5 mg per pound per day. We add 150 mg per approx. 15 to 20 lbs of animal weight, which is about 7.5 to 10 mg per pound per day. These are approximate figures, but you can see the comparison is pretty good. Ester C: A mature individual (say 175 lbs) should take about 500 mg Ester C per day. Ester C is about 4 times as strong as vitamin C (visit our Ester C page for more information: www.kalahealth.com/esterc.htm) so that is the equivalent of 2 grams vitamin C per day. So that is about 3 mg of Ester C per pound of human body weight per day. We add 50 mg per approx. 15 to 20 lbs of animal weight, which is about 2.5 to 3.5 mg per pound per day. Q: What’s the difference between Glucosamine HCl and Glucosamine Sulphate? A: Both Hydrochloride and Sulfate stabilize the glucosamine molecule into a solid form. In solution these molecules dissociates (“breaks apart”) into glucosamine i

Q: What’s the difference between Glucosamine HCl and Glucosamine Sulphate? A: Both Hydrochloride and Sulfate stabilize the glucosamine molecule into a solid form. In solution these molecules dissociates (“breaks apart”) into glucosamine ions and either hydrogen and chloride ions, or sulfate ions (both of which are
