Product description:Chondroitin sulfate is a
sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of a chain of alternating
sugars (N-acetylgalactosamine and glucuronic acid). It is usually
found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan. A chondroitin
chain can have over **0 individual sugars, each of which can be
sulfated in variable positions and quantities. Chondroitin sulfate
is an important structural component of cartilage and provides much
of its resistance to compression. Along with glucosamine,
chondroitin sulfate has become a widely used dietary supplement for
treatment of osteoarthritis.
