Glucosamine Sulfate
Glucosamine is a natural compound found in the body, particularly in the fluid that surrounds joints. It is often used as a dietary supplement to help with joint health, particularly for conditions such as osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is believed to work by helping to reduce inflammation, promoting the repair of damaged cartilage, and slowing down the loss of cartilage. There are several different forms of glucosamine supplements, including glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl-glucosamine. Glucosamine sulfate is the most commonly used form in supplements. It is important to note that glucosamine sulfate is derived from shellfish (specifically the exoskeletons of shrimp, lobster, and crabs) and can be problematic for people with shellfish allergies.

| General Statements |
- How It Works: Glucosamine is a naturally occurring structural compound that is normally found in healthy cartilage, bone, and synovial fluid.* Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is a building block for larger molecules known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs are essential components of connective tissues that function to lubricate joints, absorb shock, and allow these tissues to resist pressure.* Chondroitin is one of the major GAGs found in joint tissue that is important in maintaining structural integrity.* The body's production of
GAGs however, decreases with age. Clinical studies indicate that Glucosamine can help to maintain healthy and flexible joints, thereby supporting joint comfort.* Chondroitin, which
has also been found to support joint health, lends an additional layer of structural support.*
