Glucosamine sulfate is one of several naturally occurring amino sugars that are necessary for the rebuilding and healthy maintenance of connective tissue, including tendons, ligaments, cartiliage and bone matrix. Increased age is associated with glycation of cartilage that reduces the production of proteoglycans involved as joint lubricants. Glucosamine is an essential component of protoeglycans and may be nutrionally required to re-establish proteoglycan levels.
A meta-analysis of fifteen double-blind placebo controlled trials revealed that glucosamine sulfate was superior to placebo in all fifteen studies. Patients receiving glucosamine sulfate have a gradual and progressive reduction in joint pain and tenderness as well as improved range of motion and walking speed.
