Glucosamine Sulfate

Description

Glucosamine Sulfate is a type of Glycosaminoglycan that consists of 64.6% Glucosamine bound to 35.4% Sulfur in the form of Sulfuric Acid.

In addition to the Health Benefits of Glucosamine Sulfate, listed below, many of the Health Benefits of Glucosamine may apply to Glucosamine Sulfate.

Excretory System

 Glucosamine Sulfate may reduce the risk of Calcium Oxalate Kidney Stones (by lowering urinary Oxalic Acid levels).  ^[1]

Immune System

 Glucosamine Sulfate may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia cells.  ^[2]

 Glucosamine Sulfate may reduce Inflammation.  ^[3]

Metabolism

 Glucosamine Sulfate may inhibit the generation of Superoxide Free Radicals.  ^[4]

Musculoskeletal System

 Glucosamine Sulfate (1,000 mg per day) may enhance the structural integrity of Connective Tissues: 

 Glucosamine Sulfate is a natural component of human Cartilage (Glucosamine Sulfate forms part of the structure of the Glycosaminoglycans that are components of Cartilage) and stimulates the regeneration of damaged Cartilage.  ^[5]

            Supplemental Glucosamine Sulfate may be highly beneficial for people with damaged Cartilage of the knees.  ^[5]

 Glucosamine Sulfate forms part of the structure of Joints and supplemental Glucosamine Sulfate (1,000 mg per day) may preserve the structural integrity of the Joints and (1,500 - 2,000 mg per day) eliminates the Pain of damaged Joints and helps to repair damaged Joints.  ^[7]

 Glucosamine Sulfate is an essential component of the Connective Tissue Matrix of Ligaments.
