People often use chondroitin sulfate to help osteoarthritis. This is the reason chondroitin sulfate is often found in combination with glucosamine in supplements.
While there is some research that chrondroitin sulfate might help alleviate some for the pain of osteoarthritis, for the moment I don’t recommend this supplement. Recent research has linked chondroitin to an increased risk of prostate cancer and relapses of prostate cancer. Chondroitin may also interact with blood thinner medications. Given that older man (who are at risk of prostate cancer) often use this supplement for osteoarthritis, they should be made aware of this possibility.
