In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its
benefit for cartilage and disc in La Grande back pain.
Its reputation keeps growing for influence
on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research positively
affects diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
shares these new studies to assist our
La Grande 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
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
relieved 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 taking chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that La Grande 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 2 months. Preventive properties were
demonstrated. It helped improve 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 decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits
initiated the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate
could avert 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
triggered by diabetes. (2) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
shares this research as a hopeful option for our
La Grande chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
