In the world of
supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
benefit for cartilage and disc in West Palm Beach back pain.
Its reputation keeps growing for influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. New research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Chiropractic Care
reports on these new studies to help our
West Palm Beach 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
reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
relieved 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! 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
Chiropractic Care is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is showing benefit that West Palm Beach chiropractic
patients may appreciate.
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
demonstrated. It improved 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
reduction 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 effectively avert bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) Chiropractic Care
presents this research as a hopeful option for our
West Palm Beach chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
