Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Richmond Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions gain a lot of attention at Johnson Chiropractic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets much attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are turning attention to its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-pharmaceutical intervention demonstrating positive advantage for managing and improving osteoporosis which we know our Richmond chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will value. Gentle chiropractic care of osteoporosis can be relieving.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that concerns millions of people and a skeleton-deteriorating condition caused by a deficiency of calcium many times resulting in painful bone fractures and decreased mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual kind of osteoporosis. One way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be difficult to do alone. Fortunately, chondroitin sulfate has appeared as a natural companion in this effort to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A suitable addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to control lipid metabolism by reducing lipids into littler particles can allow its cellular absorption more easily. This process allows cells to utilizes the lipids better, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help handle the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers examined chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and weighed its effectiveness against a calcium supplement, too. Chondroitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide more effectively repaired femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and enhanced cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their deductions communicated excitement for the potential of postponing the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use. (1) This is beneficial news for Richmond osteoporosis patients to add to their calcium supplementation schedule.
CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Calcium is recommended for osteoporosis all the time. Many of us lack sufficient calcium levels. Both being non-drug interventions, calcium and chondroitin sulfate may complement each other’s effects. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound existing in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for controlling osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency. Another study stated that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium alleviated osteoporosis via gut microbiota and metabolomics in low calcium rats. Chondroitin sulfate slowed down the inflammatory response, decreased short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, promoted the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
