In the world of
supplements, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its
benefit for cartilage and disc in Vancouver back pain.
Its reputation grows in influence
on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. New research demonstrates positive effects on diabetes and its
associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Vancouver Disc Centers
reports on these new studies to assist our
Vancouver 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 is written that it can
decrease blood glucose and relieve symptoms
related to diabetes. In new studies, it
alleviated 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
obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
reduced. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Vancouver Disc Centers is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that Vancouver chiropractic
patients may enjoy.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another study of oral chondroitin sulfate and
whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was
taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were
demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing
water or food intake, reducing blood glucose,
raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology
and reducing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
initiated the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate
could prevent diabetic osteoporosis through reducing blood glucose along with
antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of
OPG/RANKL. In conclusion, they wrote that
chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss
brought on by diabetes. (2) Vancouver Disc Centers
presents this research as a hopeful option for our
Vancouver chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
