Murfreesboro Chiropractic Nutrition: Gut, Bone, Chondroitin Sulfate
Osteoporosis and the gut. Two seemingly unconnected conditions may actually be connected beyond the fact that they both are internal body issues. Osteoporosis’ effect is often seen in deteriorated bone. Gut issues’ effect is often seen in digestive problems. Researchers today are discovering ties between gut health and osteoporosis’ effect on bone health. Most Chiropractic Clinic helps Murfreesboro chiropractic patients suffering with both issues!
OSTEOPOROSIS AND THE GUT HEALTH CONNECTION
Murfreesboro osteoporosis is quite prevalent. Gut issues are, too. Gut health change via the use of probiotics has become more mainstream recently to address chronic diseases like autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer and diabetes. Now, researchers are turning to the health of the gut microbiome to deal with bone mass regulation which affects osteoporosis and osteopenia. (1) Senile osteoporosis is associated with a decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and modified microbiota. How these are linked in postmenopausal osteoporosis is not yet known. A study that tried to sort this out did discover that there was decreased bacterial richness and diversity in postmenopausal osteoporosis with significant difference in levels of phyla and genera in gut microbiota. (2) Most Chiropractic Clinic finds these new discoveries linking gut health and osteoporosis useful in guiding Murfreesboro osteoporosis treatment planning.

Nutritionally, a chondroitin sulfate/calcium complex enhanced the BMD and microstructure of femur bone in rats with osteoporosis. It also changed levels of the serum bone markers. This dietary intervention of chondroitin and calcium holds promise to potentially ease osteoporosis and related symptoms. (3) Most Chiropractic Clinic is very familiar with the effects of chondroitin sulfate for disc health and is eager to learn more about how it may also be beneficial for osteoporosis.
