West Des Moines Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is well-known 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. New research demonstrates positive effects on diabetes and its associated 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 powerful for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s reported that it can reduce blood glucose and reduce symptoms related to diabetes. In new studies, it relieved diabetic osteoporosis and repaired 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) lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is nutrition. The use of chondroitin sulfate is showing benefit that West Des Moines chiropractic patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another study of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were revealed. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing water or food intake, reducing blood glucose, increasing 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 stated that chondroitin sulfate can effectively prevent bone loss brought on by diabetes.
