Potential Cartilage Protection

Glucosamine sulfate may protect cartilage from breakdown, potentially slowing osteoarthritis progression. It might provide building blocks and inhibit cartilage-degrading enzymes.

Glucosamine sulfate is thought to potentially protect cartilage by providing building blocks for its repair and by inhibiting enzymes that break down cartilage. This may slow the progression of osteoarthritis by reducing pain and improving joint function. The exact mechanism and long-term efficacy are still under investigation.
