Chondroitin Sulphate is a mucopolysaccharide belonging to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and made of repeated D-Galactosamine and D-Glucuronic acid moyeties.
In the form of proteglycans they constitute the main basis of cellular matrix and of connective tissue. When administered orally, chondroitin sulphate supports structure and function of cartilages, exerting anti-inflammatory activity too and preventing or contrasting osteoarthritis.
Chondroitin sulphate can be obtained from bovine, porcine, poultry and marine sources; production process involves specific separation and purification steps that remove any possible biological contaminant originating from the animal source.
