Is Glucosamine Sulphate the same as Glucose?

Question

I'm looking for plain Glucose tablets, but all I seem to find is Glucosamine Sulphate

help :)

Answer 1

Glucosamine sulphate is not the same as glucose. It is an amino acid where as the latter is a sugar.

Glucosamine sulphate is used by alternative medicine as a cure for osteoarthritis. However in a randomized trial that was carried out by Rozendaal RM et al no effect was shown.

If you need to raise your blood glucose [thus looking for glucose tablets] get Dextrotab or Hypostop [now also known as Glucogel]. I know that glucogel is 40% dextrose gel. Dextrose is another name for glucose so there you go :)

Answer 2

NO, Glucosamine is a compound that has glucose in it but its properties are different.

Answer 3

Nope, they are absolutely 2 different thing. Glucosamine is for your joint & cartilage repair. Glucose is for your blood sugar level.

Answer 4

If you want glucose tablets, they are usually sold under a different trade name, Lucozade is one of them. And its usually a blend of fructose and glucose.

Answer 5

No.

Glucose tablets are just sugar.

Answer 6

No. Plain glucose tablets will be in the pharmacy near the diabetic aids, because that is what people take when they go into diabetic shock.

Answer 7

it may put a sparkle into your life

Answer 8

As said above no. I buy glucose tablets in Boots, Holland & Barratt or my local supermarket

Answer 9

glucose is just sugar, just add sugar to your diet
