Chondroitin Sulfate Helps West Des Moines Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions get a lot of attention at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets a lot of attention for the positive effect it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are focusing attention to its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-prescription intervention demonstrating benefit for managing and making better osteoporosis which we are sure our West Des Moines chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will appreciate. Gentle chiropractic care of osteoporosis can be relieving.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that affects millions of people and a skeleton-deteriorating condition caused by calcium deficiency many times resulting in painful bone fractures and decreased mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common form of osteoporosis. One way to fight osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be difficult to do alone. Fortunately, chondroitin sulfate has appeared as a natural companion in this effort to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A suitable addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to control lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into smaller particles can allow its absorption by cells more easily. This process allows cells to utilizes the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help manage the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers tested chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and compared it to a calcium supplement, also. Chondroitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide more effectively restored 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 use.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Osteoporosis sufferers are advised to take calcium all the time. Many of us are calcium deficient. 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 managing osteoporosis triggered by a deficinency of calcium. Another study stated that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium eased osteoporosis via gut microbiota and metabolomics in low calcium rats. Chondroitin sulfate reduced the inflammatory response, decreased short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, stopped osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and improved osteoporosis.
