What is Chondroitin Sulfate?

Chondroitin Sulfate, is a proven natural substance for the relief of osteoarthritis that has been marketed in North America for over 10 years. Chondroitin Sulfate was first isolated in the 1930´s for its thrombin activity and has evolved into an osteoarthritis pain reliever. Chondroitin Sulfate performs vital roles in the maintenance and generation of cartilage.

1. Chondroitin Sulfate maintains a balance in the joints by neutralizing destructive enzymes produced by the body. By controlling the levels of these destructive enzymes, worn and/or damaged cartilage can be removed so that new cartilage can be generated to take its place.

2. Chondroitin Sulfate, a polysaccharide (sugar) is an important building block found throughout the tissues of the body, especially during cartilage synthesis.

The highest concentration of Chondroitin Sulfate is found in cartilage tissue. Chondroitin Sulfate is extracted from avian, bovine, porcine or marine sources. The future market for Chondroitin Sulfate is in manufacturing its low molecular form for better bioavailability.
