Chondroitin Sulfate Helps La Grande Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions receive a lot of attention at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains a lot of 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 positive advantage in managing and improving osteoporosis which we are sure our La Grande chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will value. 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 calcium deficiency often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual form of osteoporosis. A 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 adjust lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its cellular absorption more easily. This process allows cells to use the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps lessen inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help handle the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a recent 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 enhanced cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their conclusions expressed excitement for the potential in delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use. (1) This is beneficial news for La Grande osteoporosis patients to add to their calcium supplementation routine.
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 effects. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for managing osteoporosis triggered by a deficinency of calcium. Another study stated that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium alleviated 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, promoted the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
