Chondroitin sulfate (from fish)  (Synonyms: Chondroitin polysulfate (from fish))

Chondroitin sulfate (from fish), one of five classes of glycosaminoglycans, has been widely used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Chondroitin sulfate (from fish) reduces inflammation mediators and the apoptotic process and is able to reduce protein production of inflammatory cytokines, iNOS and MMPs.
