In the world of
supplements, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its
care of cartilage and disc in Williamson back pain.
Its reputation continues to evolve in influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. New research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its
associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Apple Country Chiropractic
reports on these new studies to assist our
Williamson chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is a powerhouse potential
for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s reported that it can
reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
relieved diabetic osteoporosis and mended
the microstructure of bone due to its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating properties in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One
of the most recent reports that these outcomes were
attained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
reduced. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Apple Country Chiropractic is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that Williamson chiropractic
patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and
whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was
taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were
demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing
water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose,
raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate
could prevent 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 stated that
chondroitin sulfate can capably prevent bone loss
brought on by diabetes. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic
presents this research as a hope for our
Williamson chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
