In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in Carrolltown back pain.
Its reputation grows in influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. New research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
reports on these new studies to assist our
Carrolltown chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is powerful
for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s written that it can
reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
soothed diabetic osteoporosis and mended
the microstructure of bone due to its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One
of the latest reports that these outcomes were
attained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is showing benefit that Carrolltown chiropractic
patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and
whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was
taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were
revealed. It improved the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing
water or food intake, lowering blood glucose,
increasing bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and reducing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate
could avert diabetic osteoporosis through the decrease of blood glucose along with
antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of
OPG/RANKL. In conclusion, they wrote that
chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss
brought on by diabetes. (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation
shares this research as a hopeful option for our
Carrolltown chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
