Chondroitin consists of repeating chains of molecules called mucopolysaccharides, classified as a type of glycosaminoglycan. It is a primary part of cartilage.

Chondroitin is rich in sulfur and is a relative of glucosamine. Chondroitin keeps the cartilage flexible and elastic. Not only does chondroitin provide structure and holds water and nutrients, but it allows other molecules to move through cartilage. This is a very important property, as there is no blood supply to cartilage.

Animal cartilage is the only significant food source of Chondroitin.

Chondroitin is extracted mainly from sea animals like sharks, whales and rays or from ox cartilage. Among them, shark fin cartilage of bonito shark is the best for the chondroitin source.

In order to maximize the effect of application of glucosamine for the cure of cartilage problems such as arthritis, chondroitin and vitamin D are essential helpers. Chondroitin is also prevention and cure of osteoporosis which occurs due to calcium deficiency, by protecting the cartilage from losing calcium.

Chondroitin also protect human cells against cancers, by interrupting growth of cancer cells. Because of its preeminent effect on blood vessels and cells, chondroitin should not be taken during preganacy. Its effect on weak cells of human embryo and fetus could be dangerous and fatal.

● to the women in the age of menopause

In the process of collecting shark cartilage, steel brush or other kinds metal tools may be used instead of clean knives, in order to save process time. In that case, heavy metals harmful to health are remained or the flash may not be cut out completely. Lower priced condroitin products may be produced in such procedures.

Oronia Condroitin is made by shark cartilage cut and collected out of the bonito sharks, by quality knives and kept in the sea water for 4 - 8 weeks in order to remove remained flash biologically. Therefore Oronia Chondroitin has higher contents of chondroitin without loss of perichodrium of cartilage collected from shark fins, and without any harmful remains.
