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.
As we age, the ability of our bodies to produce chondroitin declines, and it decreases within our bodies.
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.
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.
It is widely used as chondroitin sulfate ester sodium as a raw material for drugs in oral medications, health drink, and eye drops.
