Ostrovit Chondroitin 120 tablets

OstroVit Chondroitin is a dietary supplement whose only active ingredient is chondroitin sulfate. One tablet provides 500 mg of chondroitin sulfate and the package holds 120 tablets, so a single container covers four months of daily use. The manufacturer designed it for athletes and older people who want to add chondroitin to their daily diet.

Chondroitin is an organic compound from the glycosaminoglycan group. It is a mucopolysaccharide built from glucuronic acid residues and N-acetylgalactosamine. The body produces it itself and it occurs mainly in articular cartilage. With age the amount of chondroitin in the body decreases and the ability to synthesise it declines. Chondroitin can be obtained from food such as bovine cartilage, but a supplement is the simpler route.

OstroVit uses chondroitin sulfate in this product, a well-absorbed form of the compound. The manufacturer has its products tested regularly in an independent accredited laboratory so that composition and quality match the declaration.

• Not suitable for children, pregnant women or nursing mothers.

Active ingredient

• Chondroitin sulfate – 500 mg per tablet. Chondroitin is a compound the body makes itself and it is found mostly in articular cartilage. The sulfate form is its best known and most widely used form in supplements.

Chondroitin is often used alongside glucosamine and MSM. If you want several ingredients at once, look at our combined joint products as well. If you prefer to control the chondroitin amount yourself, this single-ingredient product is the better fit.

Why a single-ingredient chondroitin

Most joint products are combinations in which chondroitin comes together with glucosamine, MSM or vitamin C. The drawback of a combination is that every amount is fixed in advance: if you want more of one ingredient, you have to take more of everything else too. A single-ingredient product gives you freedom. You control the chondroitin amount yourself and combine it with the products you already use. It also avoids the situation where the same substance arrives from several jars at once and the total quietly grows.
