In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its
care of cartilage and disc in Montreal back pain.
Its reputation grows in influence
on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis
to cells and nerves. Recent research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its
related osteoporosis and inflammation. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
reports on these new studies to help our
Montreal 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 written that it can
decrease blood glucose and reduce symptoms
associated with diabetes. In new studies, it
relieved diabetic osteoporosis and mended
the microstructure of bone due to its anti-oxidative,
anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating properties in
diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! One
of the latest reports that these outcomes were
obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin
sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1)
lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is nutrition. The use of chondroitin
sulfate is providing benefit that Montreal chiropractic
patients may appreciate.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis
In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and
whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was
taken for 8 weeks. Preventive properties were
demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of
diabetes by increasing 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 the decrease 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 prevent bone loss
triggered by diabetes. (2) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
presents this research as a hope for our
Montreal chiropractic patients with osteoporosis.
