In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in Richmond back pain.
Its reputation continues to evolve in influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Johnson Chiropractic
reports on these new studies to help our
Richmond 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 written that it can
decrease blood glucose and reduce symptoms
related to diabetes. In new studies, it
relieved diabetic osteoporosis and repaired
the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating properties in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! A recent report states that these outcomes were
attained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Johnson Chiropractic is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that Richmond 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 2 months. Preventive properties were
revealed. It helped improve the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing
water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose,
increasing bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and decreasing 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 summary, they stated that
chondroitin sulfate can capably avert bone loss
brought on by diabetes. (2) Johnson Chiropractic
presents this research as a hope for our
Richmond chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
