Cleaning up chondroitin
Concerns about chondroitin sources and adulteration are being tackled head on by Synutra Ingredients, which is offering ‘adulterant-free branded chondroitin products with guaranteed source traceability’, said the company’s president.
Speaking with NutraIngredients-USA at the launch of its new branded materials Chondro Gold and Chondro Cal at the recent SupplySide Marketplace show in New York, Synutra’s president Weiguo Zhang said: “The idea is to hopefully play a positive role in helping the industry to clean up.
“In this area we are a pioneer in terms of developing standard procedures to screen and identify adulterants.
“We are going to be leading the industry.”
