Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its benefit for cartilage and disc in Fernandina Beach back pain. Its reputation keeps growing for influence on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. Recent research demonstrates positive effects on diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic shares these new studies to assist our Fernandina Beach 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 reported that it can reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms related to diabetes. In new studies, it alleviated 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.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were revealed. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by raising body weight, reducing water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate could prevent diabetic osteoporosis through decreasing blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they wrote that chondroitin sulfate can capably prevent bone loss triggered by diabetes.
