Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium — Physical Form Grades
The same chondroitin sulfate sodium active in three physical-form grades engineered for different manufacturing processes. Standard powder suits capsule and stick-pack filling; DC grade is optimized for direct-compression tablets with improved compactibility; High-Density grade increases bulk density and flowability for high-throughput automated filling.
CAS Number
9007-28-7
Physical Form
Fine powder / DC granulation / high-density powder
Typical Assay
90% min. by CPC / HPLC
Origins
Bovine / Shark / Avian / Porcine cartilage
Purpose and Key Benefits
Identical active benefits as standard chondroitin sulfate — the grade selection controls downstream process economics and dosing uniformity rather than the functional outcome.
Applications
Tablets (DC grade), capsules, stick-packs, sachets, high-dose single-serve formats
