Chondroitin Sulfate: The Shock Absorber
Chondroitin sulfate is a structural component of cartilage known for:
✔ Cartilage Protection: Attracts water into cartilage, enhancing its shock-absorbing properties.
✔ Inflammation Control: May inhibit enzymes that degrade cartilage (e.g., hyaluronidase).
✔ Synergistic Effect: Works with glucosamine to improve joint function and delay osteoarthritis progression.
✔ Pain Reduction: Shown in studies to reduce mild joint discomfort and improve mobility over time.
Ideal for: Older adults, individuals with joint wear, or post-injury recovery support.
