Sulphur plays a key role in maintaining the structural integrity of cartilage and is required to form the glucosamine chains within the body. Glucosamine knocks on the cell wall, but it is sulphur that opens the door. Without the sulphur molecule, glucosamine is only fractionally beneficial to the body. Without the Chondroitin SULPHATE added to supplements that use Glucosamine HCl, that type of glucosamine has little to no chance within the body. It relies on the body to EXCHANGE the HCl molecule with a SULPHATE molecule in order to function within the body (although, still, to only a fractional degree).
