Description
"Chondroitin" is a supplement derived from animal cartilage, commonly sourced from cows, pigs, or sharks. It helps maintain cartilage integrity by drawing in water, ensuring flexibility and shock absorption for joint function. Often used in osteoarthritis management, it slows cartilage degradation while easing discomfort. Chondroitin also influences inflammatory pathways, contributing to joint resilience. Studied for its structural role in connective tissues, this supplement remains a trusted addition to musculoskeletal health formulations.
