Chondroitin? Condroitin is a common misspelling of chondroitin.
Chondroitin is a dietary supplement that is derived from the cartilage of various animals (such as sharks and cows). This supplement is claimed to have several health benefits, particularly for treating osteoarthritis. While there is some evidence that chondroitin may be effective at treating this condition, more research is necessary to support these claims. A few of the common side effects seen with this "natural" product include diarrhea, nausea, and hair loss.
