What is Chondroitin Sulfate?

Chondroitin sulfate is a dietary supplement. It is naturally found polymer of linear repeating units containing D-galactosamine and D-glucuronic acid. Chondroitin sulfate belongs to a family of heteropolysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans or GAGs. Chondroitin sulfate A is found in humans in cartilage, bone, cornea, skin and the arterial wall. Chondroitin sulfate B is also known as dermatan sulfate. It is abundant in skin and is also found in heart valves, tendons and arterial walls. Chondroitin sulfate C is primarily found in fish and shark cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is not a small molecule but a large polymer which contains between 15 to 150 basic units of D-galactosamine and D-glucuronic acid.
Chondroitin sulfate supplements are usually isomeric mixtures of chondroitin sulfate A and chondroitin sulfate C and from cartilaginous rings of cow trachea and pork or chicken byproducts and also shark cartilage.

Function of Chondroitin Sulfate:

As a dietary supplement chondroitin sulfate is reported effectively to maintain of the structure and function of cartilage (referred to as chondroprotection), pain relief of osteoarthritic joints and anti-inflammatory activity. Past studies show that some people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis (OA) taking either glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate reported pain relief at a level similar to that of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Some research indicates that the supplements might also slow cartilage damage in people with OA. Definitive results about the effects of these supplements are expected from an in-depth clinical study currently being conducted by the National Institutes of Health.
