Minipote®
HS Nutra's branded low-molecular-weight chondroitin sulfate sodium, processed to fragments below ~10,000 Daltons versus 50,000–300,000 Da for standard chondroitin. The molecular-weight reduction translates directly into substantially higher oral bioavailability and genuine transdermal absorption — enabling dual oral/topical product development and smaller, more elegant dosage forms.
