Introduction
Chondroitin sulfate is a chemical that is normally found in cartilage around joints in the body.
Chondroitin sulfate is manufactured from animal sources, such as cow cartilage.
Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and provides
much of its resistance to compression. Along with glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate has
become a widely used dietary supplement for treatment of osteoarthritis. It is now widely
used in nutraceutical , pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries.
Function
1.Chondroitin sulfate is used for osteoarthritis. It is often used in combination with
other products, including manganese ascorbate, glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydroch
loride or Nacetyl glucosamine N-.Research from a couple of decades ago showed that chondroitin
sulfate helped arthritis pain when taken with conventional medicines, such as aspirin, for pain and
swelling. But later research wasn’t so positive. Now, scientists believe that, overall, chondroitin sulfate
may reduce arthritis pain slightly.
2.Some people use chondroitin sulfate for heart disease, weak bones (osteoporosis), and high cholesterol.
Chondroitin sulfate is also used in a complex with iron for treating iron-deficiency anemia.
3.Chondroitin sulfate is available as an eye drop for dry eyes. In addition, it is used during cataract surgery,
and as a solution for preserving corneas used for transplants. It is approved by the FDA for these uses.
