A chondroitin is a chondrin derivative.[1]
Types include:
Chondroitin as a supplement is now commonly used (often in combination with glucosamine) in treating the joint disease of osteoarthritis.[2] In contrast to the symptomatic treatments, chondroitin can modify the progression of a disease process in the patient which it can be used as an alternative medicine.[2] Chondroitin's effect toward the articular cartilage integrity as it is part of the proteoglycan molecules.[3] The cartilage proteoglycan synthesis can speed up as chondroitin is going through the pathway of the alimentary canal.[3] Research has been conducted to show the effectiveness of chondroitin and results indicate that it helps to manage pain in knee and hip, slow down the progression and also recovery.[4] However, the effectiveness of the drugs is still doubtful.[3]
