Chondroitin is a natural substance found in the body that stimulates production of key components found in cartilage. It can protect cartilage by helping attract precious water and nutrients to cartilage (not enough water in cartilage can cause dryness, pain and loss of nutrients in the joints) and by inhibiting cartilage-damaging enzymes. Recent studies have validated its relationship to enhanced mobility.

If you are looking for an herbal product to help with rebuilding and protecting cartilage, I would suggest that you use a blend of Glucosamine and Chondroitin.
Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body and is a building block for healthy cartilage and connective tissue. It can protect cartilage and is also excellent for athletes who experience much connective tissue stress.
Chondroitin, too, is a natural substance found in the body that stimulates production of key components found in cartilage, such as the chondrocytes and proteoglycans. It protects by attracting water and nutrients to cartilage (not enough water in cartilage can cause dryness, pain and loss of nutrients in the joints.) and by inhibiting cartilage-damaging enzymes. It works well with glucosamine to rebuild damaged cartilage.
Directions
Take 1 capsule, 3 times daily, with meals.
