Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate are not sulfa drugs nor sulfite food preservatives. Sulfate is an essential mineral and present in high concentrations in human blood. How Does Glucosamine & Chondroitin Work? Once in the body Glucosamine Sulfate travels to joint tissues where it incorporated itself into cartilage and stimulates joint repair. Rebuilding cartilage can decrease the symptoms of osteoarthritis, including pain, and help promote healing. (source: Arzneim Forsch 43 (10), 1109-1113, 1993.) Chondroitin Sulfate helps attract nutrient-rich fluid to the cartilage and acts as a shock absorber in the joints. Without this fluid, cartilage becomes drier, thinner and more fragile.
