In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in Largo back pain.
Its reputation continues to evolve in 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. Hollstrom & Associates Inc
reports on these new studies to help our
Largo 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
decrease blood glucose and reduce symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
soothed 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 most recent reports that these outcomes were
obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Hollstrom & Associates Inc is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is showing benefit that Largo 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 helped improve 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
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 conclusion, they wrote that
chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss
brought on by diabetes. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc
presents this research as a hopeful option for our
Largo chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
