Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Fort Wayne Osteoporosis

August 08, 2023

The “osteo” conditions gain a lot of attention at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gets much attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are focusing attention to its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-drug intervention that is showing positive advantage in managing and improving osteoporosis which we know 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 triggered by a deficiency of calcium many times resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common form of osteoporosis. One way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be difficult to do alone. Luckily, chondroitin sulfate has appeared 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 adjust lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its cellular absorption to be easier. This process permits cells to utilizes the lipids better, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps lessen inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help manage 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 restored femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and improved cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their conclusions communicated excitement for the potential of delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption.

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 enhance each other’s efforts. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for handling osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency. Another study stated 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, lowered short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
