Largo Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its care of cartilage and disc in Largo back pain. Its reputation grows in influence on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. New research demonstrates positive effects on diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Hollstrom & Associates Inc reports on these new studies to assist 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’s written that it can decrease blood glucose and reduce symptoms related to diabetes. In new studies, it alleviated 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! 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.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were revealed. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and reducing 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 summary, they wrote that chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss brought on by diabetes.
