In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its
care of cartilage and disc in Ashburn back pain.
Its reputation grows in influence
on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its
associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
reports on these new studies to assist our
Ashburn 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 written that it can
decrease blood glucose and relieve symptoms
related to diabetes. In new studies, it
soothed diabetic osteoporosis and repaired
the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One
of the most recent 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)
reduced. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is showing benefit that Ashburn chiropractic
patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and
whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was
taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were
demonstrated. It helped improve the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing body weight, reducing
water or food intake, lowering 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 avert diabetic osteoporosis through reducing 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 prevent bone loss
brought on by diabetes. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn
shares this research as a hopeful option for our
Ashburn chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
