Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Williamson Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions receive much attention at Apple Country Chiropractic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” receives a lot of attention for the positive effect it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are turning attention to its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-prescription intervention demonstrating positive advantage in managing and improving osteoporosis which we know our Williamson chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will value. 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 type of osteoporosis. A way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be difficult to do alone. Luckily, chondroitin sulfate has surfaced as a natural companion in this effort to help osteoporosis related to calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A good addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to adjust lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its absorption by cells to be easier. This process permits cells to utilizes the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help handle the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers tested chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and compared it to a calcium supplement, too. Chondroitin sulfate and chondroitin sulfate oligosaccharide more effectively restored femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and enhanced cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their deductions communicated excitement for the potential in postponing the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption. (1) This is good news for Williamson osteoporosis patients to insert into their calcium supplementation routine.
CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Calcium is advised for osteoporosis all the time. Many of us lack sufficient calcium levels. 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 managing osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency. Another study reported that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium eased osteoporosis via gut microbiota and metabolomics in low calcium rats. Chondroitin sulfate slowed down the inflammatory response, lowered short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
