Chondroitin sulfate is often recommended for inflammation in the joints, arthritis, cartilage and tissue conditions. The source of it is important and I definitely think if taken as part of a whole food it has a quicker effect than a manufactured supplement. It does however either way take a while for the body to absorb and use it. If you are not vegetarian or vegan it is much easier to incorporate this into the diet. Bone broth is the easiest way and I can recommend a good organic one if you don't make your own. As everyone is individual some have great results with getting more of this in their diets than others. If the reason for your interest is for a condition which has inflammation at its root then addressing the cause of that is paramount too. Certainly restoring the microbiome is an important part of this and our probiotics will be a good start.
