Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Largo Osteoporosis

The “osteo” conditions get a lot of attention at Hollstrom & Associates Inc and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets much attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are directing attention to its application with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-pharmaceutical intervention demonstrating positive advantage for managing and making better osteoporosis which we are sure our Largo chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will welcome. Gentle chiropractic care of osteoporosis can be relieving.

OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that concerns millions of people and a skeleton-weakening condition produced by a deficiency of calcium often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual form of osteoporosis. One way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be difficult to do alone. Fortunately, chondroitin sulfate has emerged as a natural companion in this effort to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A good addition.

Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to adjust lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into smaller particles can allow its absorption by cells to be easier. This process allows cells to utilizes the lipids better, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps lessen inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help handle the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers examined chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and compared it to a calcium supplement, too. Chondroitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide more effectively repaired femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and improved cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their conclusions communicated excitement for the potential of delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption. (1) This is beneficial news for Largo osteoporosis patients to insert into their calcium supplementation schedule.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?

Calcium is advised for osteoporosis all the time. Many of us lack sufficient calcium levels. Both being non-drug interventions, calcium and chondroitin sulfate may enhance each other’s effects. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for controlling osteoporosis triggered by calcium deficiency. Another study reported that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium eased osteoporosis via gut microbiota and metabolomics in low calcium rats. Chondroitin sulfate slowed down the inflammatory response, decreased short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, promoted the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and improved osteoporosis.
