Chondroitin Sulfate

Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium delivers high-purity, water-soluble cartilage support ingredient, engineered for joint health supplements, pet nutrition, and pharma

Nutri Partners is your reliable partner for Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium wholesale. This sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is a vital structural component of cartilage, providing resistance to compression. Sourced from high-quality animal cartilage, our product is processed into a stable Sodium salt form, ensuring excellent solubility and bioavailability. It is a cornerstone ingredient for the dietary supplement industry, specifically for joint health formulations and osteoarthritis support.

Key Features

  • Source Variety: We offer multiple origins to meet specific market regulations: Bovine (Beef), Porcine (Pork), Avian (Chicken), and Marine (Shark).
  • Purity: Standard assays available from 85% to 95% (HPLC or CPC titration methods) meeting USP/EP pharmacopeial standards.
  • Appearance: White to off-white, free-flowing powder with low bulk density.
  • Safety: Produced from strictly controlled supply chains to ensure TSE/BSE compliance (for bovine sources).
  • Function: Promotes water retention in cartilage and inhibits enzymes that break down joint tissue.

Applications

Chondroitin Sulfate is predominantly used in the health and wellness sector:

  • Joint Health Supplements: Commonly blended with Glucosamine and MSM in tablets and capsules to support mobility and reduce joint pain.
  • Pet Nutrition: A massive market sector; used extensively in premium dog and cat food/treats for hip and joint support in aging animals.
  • Pharma: Used as an active ingredient in approved osteoarthritis treatments and eye drops (viscoelastic agent).
  • Cosmetics: utilized in skin creams for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Technical Description: Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium Wholesale

Technically, our product is a mucopolysaccharide composed of alternating sugars. When sourcing Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium wholesale, clarity on the testing method is crucial. We provide transparency regarding the assay method—whether it is tested via CPC (Cetylpyridinium Chloride), which is standard for general industry, or HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography), which is more specific and required for high-end pharmaceutical applications.

Our material features a controlled molecular weight range to optimize absorption. It is highly soluble in water, forming a viscous solution. For bovine-derived chondroitin, we ensure full traceability and health certificates confirming the absence of specified risk materials (SRMs).

Packaging & Logistics

We ensure global compliance and safe transport for your Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium wholesale supply.

Packaging: 25 kg fiber drums with double PE inner liners to protect the powder from moisture and contamination.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed. The product is hygroscopic.

Samples: Available upon request, specifying the desired origin (e.g., Bovine) and assay method.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Bovine and Shark Chondroitin?

Bovine (cow) chondroitin is the most common and cost-effective source for general supplements. Marine (Shark) chondroitin is often perceived as more premium and is free from mammalian diseases (BSE), but it comes at a higher price point and has different ethical/regulatory considerations in some regions.

Why is the testing method (CPC vs. HPLC) important?

CPC titration is a non-specific method that reacts with all sulfates. In the past, some unscrupulous suppliers adulterated chondroitin with cheaper sulfates (like alginates) to "trick" the CPC test. HPLC is a specific separation method that identifies the actual chondroitin molecule. We provide clear specifications so you know exactly what you are buying.

Is Chondroitin Sulfate vegetarian?

No, standard Chondroitin Sulfate is exclusively animal-derived (extracted from the trachea or cartilage). For vegan formulations, manufacturers typically use fermentation-derived alternatives (like Phytodroitin), which are different ingredients.
