Chondroitin Sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan naturally present in connective tissues and cartilage. It plays an essential role in cartilage structure, lubrication, and shock absorption.
It is widely used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations to support joint mobility, flexibility, and cartilage integrity, particularly in osteoarthritis management.
