Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Sitka Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions gain a lot of attention at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains a lot of attention for the positive effect it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are directing attention to its application with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-prescription intervention that is showing benefit for managing and making better osteoporosis which we know our Sitka 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 triggered by a deficiency of calcium often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common kind of osteoporosis. One way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be hard to do alone. Fortunately, chondroitin sulfate has surfaced as a natural companion in this attempts to help osteoporosis related to calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A good addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to control lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its cellular absorption more easily. This process permits cells to use the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps lessen inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help control the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers tested chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and compared it to a calcium supplement, also. Chondroitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide more effectively repaired femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and improved cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their deductions expressed excitement for the potential of postponing the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Calcium is advised 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 found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for managing osteoporosis caused by a deficinency of calcium. Another study reported that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium eased osteoporosis via gut microbiota and metabolomics in low calcium rats. Chondroitin sulfate reduced the inflammatory response, reduced short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and improved osteoporosis.
