In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in Sandy Springs back pain.
Its reputation keeps growing for influence
on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research positively
affects diabetes and its
associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Cross Chiropractic Center
shares these new studies to help our
Sandy Springs 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 relieve symptoms
related to 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! A recent report states that these outcomes were
attained 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
Cross Chiropractic Center is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is showing benefit that Sandy Springs chiropractic
patients may appreciate.
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 raising body weight, decreasing
water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose,
raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate
could prevent 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 stated that
chondroitin sulfate can capably prevent bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) Cross Chiropractic Center
presents this research as a hope for our
Sandy Springs chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
