The body produces chondroitin, but that production decreases as we grow older. Chondroitin can also be found in foods, but usually only in small amounts. Fortunately, the body absorbs chondroitin well, making supplementation a viable alternative.

Benefits

• Supports the production of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and collagen—building blocks of healthy cartilage.
• Helps attract fluid into the joints that acts as a sponge or shock absorber during impact.
• May help increase joint flexibility and resiliency.
• Aids in getting essential nutrients to the cartilage.
• Helps protect cartilage from damaging, nutritiondepleting enzymes.

Scientific Data
In a randomized, double-blind clinical study conducted in France, 120 patients with osteoarthritis were given chondroitin sulfate. These people significantly reduced their usage of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during and after the study.

Studies show that chondroitin is non-toxic and is absorbed by the body quite well. Data also indicate that chondroitin works synergistically with glucosamine to support the structural system.
