In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
benefit for cartilage and disc in Manahawkin back pain.
Its reputation keeps growing for 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. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
reports on these new studies to help our
Manahawkin 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 reduce symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
alleviated diabetic osteoporosis and repaired
the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One
of the most recent reports that these outcomes were
obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is showing benefit that Manahawkin 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, reducing
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 prevent diabetic osteoporosis through reducing 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 avert bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center
shares this research as a hopeful option for our
Manahawkin chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
