2. Chondroitin sulfateChondroitin sulfate is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composed of a chain of alternating sugars. It is usually found attached to proteins as part of a proteoglycan.

Chondroitin sulfate is an important structural component of cartilage and provides much of its resistance to compression.
