Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Murfreesboro Osteoporosis

August 08, 2023

The “osteo” conditions get a lot of attention at Most Chiropractic Clinic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets much attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are directing attention to its application with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-drug intervention that is showing benefit for managing and making better osteoporosis which we know our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will welcome. 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 a deficiency of calcium often resulting in painful bone fractures and decreased mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual form of osteoporosis. One way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be hard 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 control lipid metabolism by reducing lipids into smaller particles can allow its absorption by cells more easily. This process permits cells to use the lipids better, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help control the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a recent rat study, researchers examined 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 of postponing the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?

Osteoporosis sufferers are advised to take calcium 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 handling osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency. Another study reported that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium was good for 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, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
