I wanted to know that also. I seached in the internet. Below is what one of
the MAKER'S of Glucosamene Sulfate has to say:

Wildbill

"A nutrient for connective tissue and joint integrity. Glucosamine is a 
building block for the connectibe tissues and other cementing materials 
(mucopolysaccharides, "glycosaminoglycans" and "proteoglycans") that 
pack the cells together.
Glucosamine Sulfate nutritionally supports healthy joints and the body's 
ability to generate and regenerate connective tissue. Glucosamine is a 
naturally occuring compound present in joint cartilage that is necessary 
for the synthesis of proteoglycans, the protein molecules responsible 
for giving cartilage its strength and resilience. Sufate, another 
component of proteoglycans, works synergistically with glucosamine in 
cartilage metabolism. Glucosamine Sulfate enhances and utilizes the 
intrinsic compounds in cartilage in order to nutritionally provide for 
healthy cartilage and proper joint functioning."

I use AOL netfind, and got over 900 hits. Here is a link to the results of the
