In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in New Roads back pain.
Its reputation continues to evolve in influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. New research positively
affects diabetes and its
associated osteoporosis and inflammation. New Roads Chiropractic Center
shares these new studies to help our
New Roads 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 reported that it can
reduce blood glucose and reduce symptoms
related to diabetes. In new studies, it
alleviated diabetic osteoporosis and repaired
the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features 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
New Roads Chiropractic Center is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that New Roads 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 improved the symptoms of
diabetes by raising body weight, decreasing
water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose,
raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
initiated 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 stated that
chondroitin sulfate can effectively prevent bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) New Roads Chiropractic Center
presents this research as a hope for our
New Roads chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
