St Peters Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management
In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its care of cartilage and disc in St Peters back pain. Its reputation keeps growing for 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. Old Mill Chiropractic reports on these new studies to assist our St Peters chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation
Chondroitin sulfate is a powerhouse potential 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 soothed diabetic osteoporosis and repaired 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 attained 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 study of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were demonstrated. It helped improve the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing water or food intake, decreasing 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 effectively avert bone loss brought on by diabetes.
