San Jose Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its care of cartilage and disc in San Jose back pain. Its reputation grows in influence on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. Recent research positively affects diabetes and its associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Chiropractic Solutions shares these new studies to help our San Jose 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 is reported that it can decrease blood glucose and reduce 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 latest reports that these outcomes were obtained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) decreased.

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 helped improve the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing water or food intake, reducing blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and reducing 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 summary, they wrote that chondroitin sulfate can effectively prevent bone loss triggered by diabetes.
