In the world of
supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
care of cartilage and disc in West Des Moines back pain.
Its reputation grows in influence
on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research positively
affects diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
shares these new studies to assist our
West Des Moines chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is a powerhouse potential
for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s 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 due to its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One
of the latest reports 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
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that West Des Moines 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 8 weeks. Preventive properties were
revealed. It helped improve the symptoms of
diabetes by raising body weight, reducing
water or food intake, lowering blood glucose,
increasing bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and reducing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate
could prevent diabetic osteoporosis through the
reduction 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 avert bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
presents this research as a hopeful option for our
West Des Moines chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
