In the world of
supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
benefit for cartilage and disc in San Jose back pain.
Its reputation keeps growing for influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research demonstrates positive effects on diabetes and its
associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Chiropractic Solutions
reports on these new studies to help our
San Jose 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 is reported that it can
reduce blood glucose and reduce symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
soothed diabetic osteoporosis and mended
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 taking chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
reduced. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Chiropractic Solutions is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that San Jose chiropractic
patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another study of oral chondroitin sulfate and
whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was
taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were
demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing
water or food intake, lowering 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) Chiropractic Solutions
shares this research as a hopeful option for our
San Jose chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
