Vancouver Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
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 spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. New research demonstrates positive effects on diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Vancouver Disc Centers reports on these new studies to help our Vancouver 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 associated with diabetes. In new studies, it soothed 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 obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) reduced.

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 demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing water or food intake, decreasing 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 decrease of 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 prevent bone loss triggered by diabetes.
