Chondroitin Sulfate from Shark Cartilage

Chondroitin sulfate is a natural substance used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. It is an essential component of cartilage and plays an important role in the elasticity and function of articular cartilage where it is mainly attached covalently to core proteins in the form of proteoglycans ^[1]. It is composed of an alternating sequence of sulfated and/or unsulfated d-glucuronic acid (GlcA) and N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (GalNAc) residues linked through alternating β(1→3) and β(1→4) bonds ^[2]. Due to its many functions in vitro and in vivo, chondroitin sulfate has attracted great interest from researchers.

Chondroitin sulfate is produced from a variety of sources, including but not limited to extraction from various animals or fish, bio-synthesis, and fermentation. As a global leader in the field of marine chemistry, Alfa Chemistry is committed to providing you with chondroitin sulfate derived and prepared from shark cartilage tissue.

Chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage has a variety of potential health benefits due to its unique composition and properties. The following are its main benefits:

• Chondroitin sulfate is the main component of cartilage. Cartilage is the connective tissue that cushions the joints and helps maintain flexibility and mobility. Supplementation with chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage may help support joint health by promoting cartilage repair and regeneration. This is quite beneficial for people suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone hyperplasia, and lumbar disc herniation.
• Chondroitin sulfate has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation in the joints and surrounding tissues. By inhibiting inflammatory mediators and cytokines, chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage can help alleviate pain and swelling associated with joint inflammation.
• Some studies suggest that chondroitin sulfate may have cardiovascular benefits such as lowering cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of heart disease. Chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage may help support heart health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications by improving blood lipid profiles and reducing inflammation.
• Chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage helps to maintain corneal clarity and keep the lens and cornea functioning properly. This helps improve cataracts, presbyopia and visual impairment.
• Chondroitin sulfate derived from shark cartilage also helps to activate the production of antibodies in the body, activate lymphatic macrophages, enhance the body's immunity, and delay aging.
