What is the importance of Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate in joint health? Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate are natural compounds the body uses to help rebuild and replace cartilage found in every joint, destroyed by normal wear and tear or as a result of aging. Cartilage, a natural connective substance that cushions joints and acts as a shock absorber between the bones that make up the joint, is worn away through use or injury. However, as we age, or as the result of injury of the cartilage or joint tissue, our ability to provide these natural substances declines, so supplementation may become an important option. Chondroitin Sulfate acts as a ‘fluid magnet’, drawing fluids and nutrients into the cartilage, enabling it to grow and be replaced. It works in conjunction with Glucosamine Sulfate to help rebuild cartilage.  Clinical studies show that 1500mg Glucosamine Sulfate taken daily can help repair joint damage and improve joint mobility and lubrication.

Why use Glucosamine Sulfate as opposed to Glucosamine Hydrochloride? In a large randomised clinical study 2 of over 300 people with knee joint pain, Glucosamine Sulfate gave significantly effective pain control. Only the Sulfate form of Glucosamine has been able to demonstrate this. The Sulfur content of Glucosamine Complex contributes to the compound’s high affinity for articular cartilage found in the joint and is one reason for the superior results seen with the Sulfate complex.
