Why People Avoid Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate
People, particularly those following a vegan diet, may avoid sodium chondroitin sulfate because it is derived from animal cartilage, commonly sourced from cows or sharks. Vegans and vegetarians often seek plant-based alternatives due to ethical, dietary, or health reasons. Additionally, some individuals may experience digestive upset or allergic reactions, although these are relatively rare.
