Source Naturals Glucosamine Sulfate is a naturally occurring amino sugar. Amino sugars are key constituents of larger compunds called glucosaminoglycans and glycoproteins, which allow cells in tissues to hold together. They are necessary for the construction and maintenance of virtually all connective tissue and lubricating fluids in the body - tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone matrix, skin, joint fluid, intestinal lining, and mucous membranes. Glucosamine sulfate is complexed with posattium chloride to enhance stability.
