Sitka Chiropractic Info: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its care of cartilage and disc in Sitka back pain. Its reputation continues to evolve in influence on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. New research positively affects diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka shares these new studies to help our Sitka 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 written that it can reduce 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 features 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) decreased. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is nutrition. Incorporating chondroitin sulfate is showing benefit that Sitka chiropractic patients may appreciate.
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 demonstrated. It helped improve the symptoms of diabetes by raising body weight, decreasing 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 prevent diabetic osteoporosis through the reduction of blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they stated that chondroitin sulfate can capably avert bone loss triggered by diabetes.
