Does anybody know how you would translate the following nutritional ingredients?
Glucosamine hydrochloride

I'm seeing numerous translations.

The beauty of chemistry is that it is truly international, and the words usually map very closely. The translation of glucosamine hydrochloride is glucosamina hidrocloruro (or hidrocloruro de glucosamina, glucosamina hidroclorido, or hidroclorido de glucosamina), but you will also see the English version used in some Spanish contexts.
The other one is condroitín sulfato de sodio.
Even in English, there are usually two or more ways to express any given compound, except for very simple ones (such as sodium chloride or carbon monoxide).
