Chondroitin, an important component of the body's tendons, ligaments and cartilage is derived from shark cartilage.
Chondroitin Sulfate is an endogenous Glycosaminoglycan (GAG). It is composed of Glucuronic Acid + N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + Glucosamine Sulfate.
Glycosaminoglycans provide a mild anti-inflammatory action.
Chondroitin sulphate concentrates in the bones and is an important constituent of connective tissue.
The calcium content of chondroitin assists against the development of osteoporosis and is a useful treatment for osteoarthritis.
Chondroitin Sulfate is an important constituent of cartilage and helps to maintain the resilience of Cartilage. It also helps to rebuild damaged Cartilage.
The shark cartilage form of chondroitin sulphate inhibits Elastase, an enzyme that degrades cartilage (one of the underlying processes that occurs during the progression of osteoarthritis).
