For example, the glucosamine sulfate that is put into dietary supplements is often harvested from the shells of shellfish.Glucosamine sulfate used in dietary supplements does not always come from natural sources.It can also be made in a laboratory.lucosamine sulfate is a chemical found in the human body. It is used by the body to produce a variety of other chemicals that are involved in building tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the thick fluid that surrounds joints.

Glucosamine plays a vital role in building cartilage and is commonly consumed as a supplement by people with arthritis, especially osteoarthritis.Glucosamine, especially glucosamine sulfate, is harvested from the shells of shellfish and put into dietary supplements. It can also be made in the laboratory.lucosamine in supplements either comes from shellfish or is made in the laboratory. Although similar, the three forms may not have the same effect when used as dietary supplements. Most studies that have examined the potential health benefits of glucosamine have focused on glucosamine sulfate.
