This is the page which shows competitive prices for glucosamine in the market place. Each entry in the table below describes a glucosamine product, its selling price and the conversion of that selling price to a cost per kilogram. Each entry includes a link to another page in this section where you can see the actual source of the price information. On THAT page you will find a link which goes to the actual source web site. Notice that the items listed below are generally single substance products. Most of the time Glucosamine is sold in combination with other ingredients, making price comparison difficult. Almost always the substance "MSM" "methyl sulfonyl methane" is added. There is more information and lower prices for MSM at this site than any other site on the internet -- check it out.
