Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium

Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium is the sodium salt of the sulfated linear glycosaminoglycan obtained from bovine, porcine, or avian cartilages of healthy and domestic animals used for food by humans. Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium consists mostly of the sodium salt of the sulfate ester of N-acetylchondrosamine(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β -D-galactopyranose)and D-glucuronic acid copolymer. These hexoses are alternately linked β -1, 4 and β -1, 3 in the polymer. The prevalent glycosaminoglycans are designated chondroitin sulfate sodium A, containing N-acetylchondrosamine-4-O-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate sodium C, containing N-acetylchondrosamine-6-O-sulfate. It contains not less than90.0 percent and not more than 105.0 percent of total glycosaminoglycans as chondroitin sulfate sodium, calculated on the dried basis.




Use:
As a kind of mucoitin, chondroitin sulfate can be employed as material of health-care medicine and cosmetic products. Enjoying favorable anti-senium function, it is also used as additive to cosmetic products and foods. After deep processing, it is adaptable to the treatment of nervous headache, neuralgia, arthralgia, migraine, arteriosckerisis as well as dysacusia caused by streptomycin and hepatitis etc. Without any side effect.
