Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Easley Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions gain much attention at Young Chiropractic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains much attention for the positive effect it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are turning attention to its application with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-pharmaceutical intervention that is showing positive advantage in managing and making better osteoporosis which we are sure our Easley chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will welcome. Gentle chiropractic care of osteoporosis can be relieving.
OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis is an age-related condition that affects millions of people and a skeleton-weakening condition triggered by a deficiency of calcium often resulting in painful bone fractures and decreased mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual type of osteoporosis. One way to fight osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be difficult to do alone. Luckily, chondroitin sulfate has emerged as a natural companion in this attempts to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A good addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to regulate lipid metabolism by reducing lipids into littler particles can allow its absorption by cells more easily. This process allows cells to utilizes the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps lessen inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help manage the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers examined chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and weighed its effectiveness against a calcium supplement, also. Chondroitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide more effectively restored femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and improved cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their conclusions showed excitement for the potential of delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use. (1) This is beneficial news for Easley osteoporosis patients to add to their calcium supplementation routine.
CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Calcium is advised for osteoporosis all the time. Many of us are calcium deficient. Both being non-drug interventions, calcium and chondroitin sulfate may complement each other’s efforts. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound existing in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for controlling osteoporosis triggered by a deficinency of calcium. Another study stated that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium alleviated 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, promoted the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
