The European Union has determined that “Mad Cow Disease” (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) may be more widespread throughout the continent than previously believed. MCD has been uncovered in Austria, Spain, Bavaria, Belgium and Italy.

To protect the consumer, scientific advisors to the FDA called on the government to scrutinize dietary supplements made with bovine ingredients. This is relevant to the Chondroitin industry because Chondroitin is manufactured from bovine trachea. Furthermore, most of the Chondroitin sold in America is imported and some of the top manufacturers are located in Europe.

With NutraSense you can be assured that the Chondroitin used in our high quality Glucosamine product is U.S. made from U.S. cattle, derived only from USDA inspected bovine sources. Our Chondroitin is manufactured by Sioux Pfarm, Inc., (Chondropure™) located in Sioux Center, Iowa. They are one of two manufacturers in the world that maintain a Drug Master File with the FDA for the production of Chondroitin.
