Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate is the sodium salt of chondroitin sulfate, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in connective tissues such as cartilage, bone, and skin. It is commonly sourced from animal cartilage (e.g., bovine, porcine, or marine origin) and is widely used in dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics for its potential joint health and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Key Properties:
Appearance: White to off-white powder
Solubility: Highly soluble in water, forming a viscous solution
Molecular Weight: Varies (typically 10-50 kDa, depending on source and processing)
Purity: Often ≥90% (pharmaceutical grade)
Functions & Applications:
Joint Health: Supports cartilage structure, may alleviate osteoarthritis symptoms by improving joint lubrication and reducing inflammation.
Dietary Supplements: Combined with glucosamine in formulations for musculoskeletal support.
Pharmaceuticals: Used in ophthalmic solutions (e.g., dry eye treatments) and wound healing products.
Cosmetics: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent, enhancing moisture retention and elasticity.
Safety:
Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) for oral consumption in recommended doses.
Rare side effects may include mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and light.
Note: Quality and bioactivity depend on sourcing (e.g., bovine vs. marine) and extraction methods. Regulatory compliance (e.g., USP, EP) ensures purity and safety for human use.
