Description

Chondroitin CAS NO 9007-27-6 is a high-purity glycosaminoglycan (GAG) derived from natural sources, essential for maintaining the structural integrity and hydration of connective tissues. Its primary commercial value lies in its proven efficacy as a key active ingredient in dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals for joint health and osteoarthritis management. This product is critical for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and veterinary medicine industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for formulations targeting cartilage support and inflammation modulation.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A core ingredient in tablets, capsules, and powders for joint health, often combined with glucosamine and MSM.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.
• Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into feed additives and therapeutic products for companion animals and livestock to support joint and bone health.
• Cosmeceuticals & Skincare: Utilized in topical creams and serums for its hydrating properties and potential to improve skin elasticity.
• Ophthalmic Solutions: Employed in viscoelastic solutions used during eye surgery to protect corneal endothelial cells.
• Functional Food & Beverages: Fortified into health drinks, dairy products, and other functional foods.
• Biomedical Research: Serves as a critical substrate or standard in biochemical and pharmacological studies related to cartilage metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Chondroitin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is tested to meet relevant specifications for high-purity applications, including those outlined in USP-NF and FCC monographs. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing for identity, purity, potency, and safety parameters. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to ensure full traceability and compliance for our B2B partners.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and degradation.
