About Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate is a naturally occurring molecule found in the cartilage and connective tissues of people and animals. Chondroitin is the substance that enables cartilage to provide cushion to healthy joints, and it is what the body uses to make new cartilage. Chondroitin also serves a vital role in the maintenance of healthy skin/coat. Chondroitin can be taken as a supplement to maintain healthy cartilage, joint lubrication, and healthy skin, nails, and hair.

Not all chondroitin is created equal

The chondroitin used in dietary supplements is extracted from the cartilage and connective tissues of animals. The most common animal sources are cow, pig, chicken, and shark. Chondroitin varies depending on the source, and scientists have separated it into three distinct classes: a, B, and C. this is important because chondroitin-a has greater health benefits than B or C, and some animal sources have more chondroitin-a than others. For instance, chondroitin sulfate sourced from beef trachea cartilage (used by Springtime in our joint supplements for horses) has among the highest concentrations of chondroitin-a. Conversely, some products on the market are labeled as 100% chondroitin, but contain little to no chondroitin-a, rendering them woefully ineffective. Chondroitin sulfate is one of six related substances called glycosaminoglycans (gags), which are also referred to as mucopolysaccharides. Adequate amounts of chondroitin are vital for normal joint function and maintenance, as well as many other self-healing mechanisms.
