Ingredients Research & Development Active Nutrition

The groundbreaking chondroitin sulfate from fermentation, MyCondro™ offers superior bioavailability and a higher purity profile without contamination risk. Two clinical studies support MyCondro™'s efficacy at a low dosage—600 mg per day—while the recommended daily dose for animal chondroitin is 1200 mg per day. This lower dosage makes MyCondro™ a key partner for combination joint support formulas

For the millions of individuals worldwide suffering from joint pain, particularly those with osteoarthritis (OA), MyCondro™ offers a revolutionary alternative in joint health supplements. This groundbreaking chondroitin sulfate (CS) product, produced through a sustainable fermentation process, provides superior safety, efficacy, and bioavailability compared to traditional animal-derived CS. Here's why MyCondro™ is a game-changer in the world of joint health.

Sustainable, vegan, and safe
Unlike conventional CS sourced from bovine, porcine, or marine animals, MyCondro™ is entirely non-animal-derived. It is created using a fermentation process involving microorganisms, making it a vegan and sustainable option. This controlled process eliminates the risks of contamination associated with animal-derived CS, such as prions and viruses, ensuring product safety and purity. With a CS content exceeding 95%, MyCondro™ sets a new quality standard in the market, far surpassing animal-sourced alternatives of variable quality.

Superior bioavailability and proven efficacy
One of the standout features of MyCondro™ is its enhanced bioavailability—pharmacokinetics studies have demonstrated it offers up to 45% better absorption than animal-based CS. This enhanced absorption ensures that the body receives more of the active compound for effective results. Clinical research further underscores MyCondro™'s efficacy in reducing knee pain, improving joint function, and decreasing inflammation in individuals with moderate knee osteoarthritis. In a three-month supplementation study, participants experienced an improvement in joint function scores (TLKS) and a reduction in pain scores (WOMAC) versus the placebo group. Moreover, MyCondro™ significantly lowered inflammation markers like CRP and ESR, highlighting its anti-inflammatory benefits.

Innovative production process with global recognition
The advanced fermentation technology used to produce MyCondro™ is internationally patented, guaranteeing a consistent, high-purity product. This homogeneous structure offers reproducible results, supporting its use as a trusted ingredient in medical and nutritional supplements. Beyond quality, MyCondro™ aligns with ethical and dietary considerations, making it suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and non-GMO consumers.

Versatility and convenience
With efficacy proven at a low dosage of 600 mg/day—less than the typical 1200 mg/day required for animal-derived alternatives—MyCondro™ offers the advantage of flexible application. It can be seamlessly combined with other joint health ingredients, such as glucosamine, to create innovative, multi-functional formulas tailored for various consumer needs.

A new standard in joint health
MyCondro™ is not just a supplement—it's a transformative innovation poised to disrupt the chondroitin sulfate market. Combining sustainability, superior quality, and scientific validation offers a reliable, safe, and highly effective solution for joint health. Whether creating products for pain relief, improved mobility, or long-term joint health, MyCondro™ delivers trustworthy results.
