Glucosamine is a preferred substrate for the biosynthesis of glucosminoglycans. It stimulates the biosynthesis of proteoglycans. It restores damaged chondrocytes and, as sulfate is used in the therapy of arthrosis. This rebuilds the damaged articular cartilage and restores articular function. Oral administration is appropriate since glucosamine sulfate is well absorbed and does not irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Glucosamine therapy was associated with a gradual and progressive reduction of articular pain and tenderness and improvement in the range of motion.
