Chondroitin? Chondrontin is a common misspelling of chondroitin.
Chondroitin is a type of supplement derived from the cartilage of various animals, including sharks and cows. This supplement is claimed to have several medicinal purposes, and is often used as a treatment for osteoarthritis. Although chondroitin is claimed to have several benefits, more research is necessary to support these claims. While this is a "natural" product, it is not suitable for everyone. Before using chondroitin medicinally, talk to your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you may have, as well as any other medications you are taking, including vitamins and herbal supplements.
