Glucosamine
Sulfate Capsules are a convenient and efficient way of adding
sulfate to the diet. The benefits of sulfate appear to be
linked to an enzyme system known as phenol sulfotransferase
(PST). Sulfate deficiency may explain why some individuals
are sensitive to a variety of phenol-containing foods, such
as apples, grapes, berries, onions, potatoes, chocolate,
food colorings, and some herbs and spices.

Glucosamine Sulfate capsules offer a convenient way of adding
sulfate to the diet. Each 500 mg. capsule supplies about
150 mg. of the actual sulfate portion of the glucosamine
salt. Glucosamine Sulfate offers an accurate method of sulfation
and the absorbability has been proven clinically which is
not the case with epsom salt baths or compounded transdermal
preparations. One study found that up to 98% of orally administered
glucosamine sulfate is absorbed, while another study showed
that about 90% is absorbed via oral administration.1,2

of cartilage in the body. Further studies are necessary
to verify this relationship which appears very promising
in supporting joint function.
