*

Data on sulfation levels are based on information provided by manufacturers and published data.23  The position and degree (%) of sulfation is indicated.

The average number of sulfate groups per disaccharide unit.

3-O-sulfation of the glucosamine is also present (level of sulfation is unknown).
