Similarly, Chondroitin is a component of human connective tissues and is found in cartilage and bone. Glucosamine and chondroitin are often taken together as they provide synergistic effects. Chondroitin helps build connective tissue throughout the body, including those that form joints and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
