Chondroitin is included as part of Move's hip & Joint support active ingredients.
Chondroitin is a structural compound found naturally in cartilage, where it helps maintain hydration, elasticity, and shock-absorbing properties. In canine mobility research, chondroitin is frequently studied alongside glucosamine as part of cartilage-support formulations. Its role in the formula is to help maintain the structural environment that supports smooth, comfortable movement.
