Chondroitin, when it is injected, is absorbed very quickly and within an hour reaches its maximum concentration, which slowly decreases within 48 hours. The medicine is collected in cartilaginous tissue. A quarter of an hour after the injection, chondroitin enters the synovial fluid, and from there it moves directly into the articular cartilage. In cartilage, it accumulates as much as possible in 48 hours.
