- WHAT IS CHONDROITIN SULFATE?
THE FUNCTIONS OF CHONDROITIN SULFATE
Chondroitin Sulfate has several functions. It delivers nutrients to the joint cartilage, helps to inhibit the enzymes that decompose the joint cartilage and speeds up the formation of a new joint cartilage. As a result, the elasticity and plasticity, which are the functions of the joint cartilage can be maintained through the use of Chondroitin Sulfate.
In recent years, research has made great progress, and its various functions including actions on the joint of the knee has become elucidated one after another. As a result, it is now considered an essential substance for the maintenance of healthy joints.
MANY USES OF CHONDROITIN SULFATE
Chondroitin Sulfate is a molecule, which occurs naturally in the body. It is an important component of cartilage – the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints. The molecule was discovered in the cartilage of cows in 1861 by a German chemist, Fischer.
Chondroitin Sulfate is a muco-polysaccaride (glucosaminoglycan) with a high viscosity and the N-acetylgalactosamine as repeated link and with a sulfate group pr. disaccharide unit. The most frequently found muco-polysaccarides in the body are Chondroitin-4-Sulfate and Chondrotin-6-Sulfate. They are present in both bones and connective tissues.

- WHY USE CHONDROITIN SULFATE?
-
Chondroitin Sulfate appears to be very important in keeping joints healthy by means of its unique ability called chondro protection, retention or stimulation of repair function in cartilage cells.
The body needs nourishment to heal and repair itself and Chondroitin Sulfate has been proven to stimulate the growth of new joint cartilage. Replacement of Chondroitin enables the impaired joint cartilage caused by decreased activity of Chondroitin Sulfate to recover the functions of elasticity and plasticity.
In recent years, attention has been paid to Chondroitin Sulfate as a substance that plays an vital role in protecting your bones and joints. Chondroitin Sulfate is used extensively as supplements, and in Eastern Europe and Asia, as a drug.
