To date, more than 20 clinical studies using Glucosamine Sulfate have shown a favorable response to glucosamine sulfate vs. placebo in supporting healthy joint function. Glucosamine, which occurs naturally in the body, plays a key role in the construction of cartilage (the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints). Glucosamine stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (the key structural components of cartilage) as well as the incorporation of sulfur into cartilage. Sulfur is necessary for making and repairing cartilage.*

Glucosamine sulfate has been administered safely with a variety of conditions, including circulatory disease, liver disorder, diabetes, lung disorder, and depression, with no observed interference with either the course of the illness or pharmacological treatment for these conditions. A small number of transient mild gastrointestinal problems have been reported associated with ingestion of glucosamine sulfate. However, these complaints are generally mild and are reversed when glucosamine sulfate is discontinued.*

To date, we are unable to locate any study reporting the effects of glucosamine sulfate on the thyroid gland.
