A protein or glycoprotein found in cartilage tissue, related to chondroitin and other cartilage components.
From Greek chondros (cartilage) + -in (chemical suffix). Derived as part of 19th-century biochemistry's effort to isolate and name specific proteins found in various tissues.
Chondrosin is similar to substances in joint supplements people take for arthritis, but scientists are still working out whether these supplements actually help because the proteins break down quickly in your stomach.
