Chondroitin sulfate calcium is the calcium salt of chondroitin sulfate, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating disaccharide units. It is mainly found in cartilage and connective tissues and plays a role in maintaining structural integrity and hydration. The calcium form is used in dietary supplements for joint and bone health, offering both chondroitin’s cartilage-supporting effects and calcium’s benefits for bone metabolism. Its therapeutic use is listed as osteoarthritis agents. The directory classifies it as a unknown/inactive API with a natural source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Chondroitin Sulfate Calcium Salt (Technical Grade). Its PubChem CID is 171042855.
