Yes

MedHead Message:
Look for glucosamine sulfate, which costs a little more than glucosamine HYDROCHLORIDE, which if what you’ll find in about 98% of over the counter glucosamine. I recommend Liquid Joint Soother by Puritan’s Pride 3 tbsp daily for at least three months to notice a change in pain and function.
