What is chondroitin?

  1. 1. Found throughout the body

    Chondroitin is a substance that is found not only in cartilage, but also
    throughout the body, including in the cornea of the eye, ear (inner ear), intervertebral discs, skin, and connective tissue that connects the cells.

  2. 2. Decreases with age

    As we age, the ability of our bodies to produce chondroitin declines, and it decreases within our bodies.

  3. 3. High water retention capability

    Chondroitin is virtually tasteless and odorless, with extremely high water retention capability. Because chondroitin sulfate is negatively charged, the molecules repel each other and create space. Water enters this space, and moisture is retained.

  4. 4. Also found in food

    Foods rich in chondroitin are shark-fin, soft-shelled turtle, eel, sea bream and tuna eye balls, and poultry skin. It is also used in health foods and supplements as mucopolysaccharide protein complexes and shark cartilage extracts.

  5. 5. Widely used as a raw material for drugs
