In the world of
supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in Sitka back pain.
Its reputation keeps growing for influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research positively
affects diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
shares these new studies to assist our
Sitka 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 relieve symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
relieved diabetic osteoporosis and repaired
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
attained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that Sitka chiropractic
patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another study 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, reducing
water or food intake, reducing blood glucose,
increasing 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
reduction 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 capably avert bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
presents this research as a hope for our
Sitka chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
