Chondroitin Sulfate is a naturally occurring compound found in the cartilaginous tissues of many invertebrates. It is used as a dietary supplement to support cartilaginous tissues and combat various forms of arthritis in humans and animals.

A very large complex sugar-based molecule, Chondroitin performs two especially important roles in the generation and maintenance of healthy cartilage.

1. Chondroitin Sulfate is an important glycosaminoglycan (building block) produced by the body during cartilage synthesis.

2. Chondroitin Sulfate is a bio-regulator. It functions to maintain balance in the joints by neutralizing the deconstructive enzymes produced by the body.

Chondroitin sulfate is often offered in combination with other supplements such as glucosamine and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
