Chondroitin
Chondroitin is a very important substance for the joints (and tendons) since it protects them. This will preserve the health of important body parts, specially for athletes.
What is it?
It is naturally available in the body and it is a vital part of the cartilage. Moreover, it is also available as food supplements.
Several studies have proven that taking chondroitin can help to prevent the cartilage breakdown and stimulate the regeneration mechanisms.

How does it work?
Its main function is to provide elasticity to the cartilage, since it helps to retain water.
Moreover, it is crucial for the production of synovial fluid, a substance that keeps the joints lubricated in order to avoid pain. Therefore, it can help with joint problems and diseases.
Laboratory studies have concluded that chondroitin can reduce the activity of enzymes and substances that break down the joint collagen. Moreover, it seems that it has anti-inflammatory properties.
Together with glucosamine (a common combination in most chondroitin supplements), they stimulate the growth of cartilage tissue and improve its ability to bind to the joint fluid.
Even if we can take it from food, the specialists advise taking chondroitin supplementation, specially those who have joint problems, pain and osteoarthritis.
Is it safe?
The side effects tend to be mild and rare. Some of them are: headaches, flatulence, diarrhea or skin rashes.
If you are taking anticoagulants or you suffer from asthma, you should consult a specialist before taking chondroitin.
