What is Chondroitin Sulfate？

Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium is white powder, odorless, tasteless, strong water absorption, easily soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, and other organic solvents. It is mainly used in health products and cosmetics in bones, tendons, ligaments, skin, cornea and other tissues.

Chondroitin sulfate is a type of glycosaminoglycan covalently linked to proteins to form proteoglycans. Chondroitin sulfate is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix and cell surface of animal tissues. The sugar chain is formed by the polymerization of alternating glucuronic acid and N-acetylgalactosamine, and is connected to the serine residue of the core protein through a sugar like linkage region. Although the main chain structure of polysaccharides is not complex, there is a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of sulfation degree, sulfate groups, and the distribution of two different isomeric uronic acids within the chain. The fine structure of chondroitin sulfate determines its functional specificity and interactions with various protein molecules.

Source and Specification of Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate exists in animal cartilage species and is an acidic mucopolysaccharide extracted from cartilage tissues of fish, pigs, and cattle.

There are three specifications: bovine chondroitin sulfate, chicken and duck chondroitin sulfate, and fish sulfur chondroitin.

1.Used in Nutritional Supplements in joint care area, helps keep cartilage healthy by absorbing fluid into the connective tissue.

1.The main application pathway in medicine is as a drug for treating joints, used in combination with glucosamine, which has the effect of relieving pain, promoting cartilage regeneration, and ultimately improving joint problems.

2.Chondroitin sulfate has a protective effect on corneal collagen fibers, promoting the growth of fibers in the matrix, enhancing permeability, improving blood circulation, accelerating metabolism, promoting the absorption of osmotic fluid, and eliminating inflammation; Its polyanions have strong water retention properties, can improve the water metabolism of corneal tissue, have strong affinity for the cornea, and can form a breathable water retention film on the surface of the cornea, improving the symptoms of eye dryness. By promoting the generation of matrix and providing a framework for cell migration, it is beneficial for the migration of corneal epithelial cells, thereby promoting the healing of corneal wounds, the absorption of exudate, and the elimination of inflammation.

3.Chondroitin sulfate can be used as an additive in health products and food, which can enhance the human body's constitution, resist bacteria, improve beauty, improve hearing, and dry skin. It can inhibit the absorption of lipids and glucose by the small intestine in the body to achieve weight loss.
