Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Fort Wayne Osteoporosis

August 08, 2023

The “osteo” conditions receive a lot of attention at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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-pharmaceutical intervention that is showing positive advantage for managing and improving osteoporosis which we are sure 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 affects millions of people and a skeleton-deteriorating condition caused by calcium deficiency often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common kind 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 effort to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A suitable addition.

Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to regulate lipid metabolism by reducing lipids into littler particles can allow its cellular absorption more easily. This process permits cells to utilizes the lipids better, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps decrease inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help manage 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 expressed excitement for the potential of postponing the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use. (1) This is good news for Fort Wayne osteoporosis patients to insert into their calcium supplementation routine.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?

Osteoporosis sufferers are advised to take calcium all the time. Many of us are calcium deficient. Both being non-drug interventions, calcium and chondroitin sulfate may complement each other’s effects. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for managing osteoporosis triggered by calcium deficiency. Another study stated 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.
