What is Vitacost Glucosamine Sulfate?

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino-sugar synthesized in the body through a process that includes glutamine and sugar. It's a constituent of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains, which are important for healthy cartilage and joints. Glycosaminoglycans are important for the production and maintenance of most connective tissues and lubricating fluids throughout the body.
