Richmond Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its care of cartilage and disc in Richmond back pain. Its reputation keeps growing for influence on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. New research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Johnson Chiropractic reports on these new studies to help our Richmond 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 mended the microstructure of bone via its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! A recent report states that these outcomes were attained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) lowered.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were revealed. It helped improve the symptoms of diabetes by raising body weight, reducing water or food intake, reducing 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 reducing blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they wrote that chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss brought on by diabetes.
