Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Juneau Osteoporosis

August 08, 2023

The “osteo” conditions receive a lot of attention at Aurora Chiropractic Center and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets much attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are directing attention to its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-pharmaceutical intervention demonstrating benefit for managing and making better osteoporosis which we know our Juneau 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-weakening condition triggered by calcium deficiency many times resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced 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 difficult to do alone. Luckily, chondroitin sulfate has surfaced as a natural companion in this attempts to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A suitable addition.

Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to adjust lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its cellular absorption more easily. This process permits cells to utilizes the lipids more efficiently, resulting in stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help control 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, also. 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 showed excitement for the potential of postponing the progression 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 enhance 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 a deficinency of calcium. 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, decreased short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
