The “osteo” conditions get much
attention at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets
much attention for the positive effect it has on
osteoarthritis, so researchers are focusing attention to
its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin
sulfate is a non-prescription intervention demonstrating positive advantage in managing and making
better osteoporosis which we know our
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will appreciate. 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 caused
by calcium deficiency often
resulting in painful bone fractures and decreased mobility.
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common kind
of osteoporosis. A way to fight osteoporosis is by
balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be hard
to do alone. Fortunately, chondroitin sulfate has appeared
as a natural companion in this effort to help osteoporosis related
to calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A suitable
addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to control
lipid metabolism by reducing lipids into smaller
particles can allow its cellular absorption more easily. This process allows cells to use
the lipids more efficiently, leading to
stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps lessen
inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may
help handle the effects of calcium deficiency-related
osteoporosis. In a recent rat study, researchers examined
chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and weighed its effectiveness against a calcium supplement, too. 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
communicated excitement for the potential in postponing
the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption.
(1) This is good news for Fort Wayne osteoporosis
patients to add to their calcium supplementation schedule.
CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Osteoporosis sufferers are recommended calcium
all the time. Many of us are calcium
deficient. Both being non-drug interventions, calcium and chondroitin
sulfate may enhance 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 caused by a deficinency of
calcium. Another
study stated that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and
calcium was good for osteoporosis via gut microbiota and
metabolomics in low calcium rats. Chondroitin sulfate slowed down the inflammatory response,
reduced short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal
flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, elevated
the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased
osteoporosis. (2) Now that is an effective osteoporosis nutrition combo!
