Molecular effects of chondroguard in osteoarthritis and herniated discs

Abstract

Chondroitin sulfates (CS) are a building material for the cartilage and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The paper gives the results of analyzing the pharmaceutical composition of chondroguard and its pharmaceutical substance CS-BIOACTIVE (CS-BIOACTIVE©Bioiberika S.A.U., Spain). It discusses the molecular-physiological mechanisms of action of CS in intervertebral disc extrusions and protrusions.
