What is chondroitin and what does it do?
Chondroitin is a vital compound in connective tissue that is partly responsible for building and supporting the basic substance of cartilage.* Chondroitin is one of the molecules that helps attract and hold water, which aids in keeping joint membranes fluidized.* This can have a rejuvenating effect on cells and tissues and assist in joint mobility and range of motion.* Joint tissue contains chondroitin, but its natural production declines with age.
