Overview
Chondroitin sulfate is a glycosaminoglycan, which is a long
chain of specialized polysaccharides (or sugars). It is used in
the body as a building block to form connective tissues such as
cartilage; it is also present in the walls of blood vessels. It
keeps cartilage fluid and elastic. Researchers believe that
chondroitin sulfate works in two different ways: it provides the
raw material needed to repair cartilage and it may block enzyme
activity that breaks down cartilage. Recent studies indicate that
chondroitin may be as effective at relief of joint pain as aspirin
and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs without the
gastrointestinal problems.
Our Chondroitin Sulfate is available in 50 and 100 capsules
that are 250mg each. The chondroitin sulfate used is sourced from
the trachea of farm raised cattle in the united states.
Research Indicates
- Responsible for repair and maintenance of cartilage and
connective tissue
- May limit the effects of degeneration associated with
decreasing water content of cartilage
- May enhance joint health and reduce pain associated with
joint disorders
- May inhibit enzymes that cause inflammation and damage the
joints
- Often used along with glucosamine and manganese for
treatment of osteoarthritis
- May be useful in treatment of joint-related sports injuries
Dosage
Typical dosages range from of 250-1200 mg per day.
Cautions
- If you take blood thinners or aspirin on a daily basis
consult a health care practitioner prior to using chondroitin.
- Some chondroitin users report mild digestive distress,
discontinue use and consult a health care practitioner if you
experience this.
- If you are pregnant or lactating consult a health care
