Chondroitin sulphate is a primary component of proteoglycan, an important structural element of cartilage. Joints contain both cartilage and synovial fluid to absorb shock and reduce friction during movement. Chondroitin sulphate provides structure, helping cartilage retain water and nutrients, and facilitating the passage of other essential molecules. This is especially important given that there is no blood supply to cartilage which relies on healthy synovial fluid for its nutrition.
Beyond joint support, chondroitin sulphate also enhances the effects of glucosamine and offers excellent nutritional benefits for maintaining healthy manes, tails, coats, and skin. For additional skin support, particularly when issues like rubbing of manes and tails are observed, the nutritional advantages of chondroitin sulphate can be further enhanced with spirulina and linseed meal.
