Chondroitin Sulfate
Chondroitin Sulfate (CAS: 9007-28-7) is a naturally occurring sulfated glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating disaccharide units of N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid. Extracted and purified from animal cartilage under strict quality controls, this white to off-white powder is a structural component of cartilage, bone, skin, and connective tissue, where it provides elasticity, water retention, and resistance to compression. As a supplement ingredient, chondroitin sulfate is extensively studied and used to support joint health, helping to maintain cartilage integrity, lubricate joints, and slow the progression of degenerative joint conditions when combined with glucosamine. It is also applied in pharmaceutical formulations for osteoarthritis management and in premium skincare products for its hydrating and skin-conditioning properties. High-purity grades with controlled molecular weight and sulfate content are available for research and clinical applications. Its well-established safety profile and biological relevance keep chondroitin sulfate in strong demand across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic markets.
– Joint Health Supplements: Widely formulated with glucosamine in tablets, capsules, and powders to support cartilage maintenance, joint lubrication, and mobility in aging and active populations.
