Chondroitin Sulfate Helps McHenry Osteoporosis

The “osteo” conditions receive a lot of attention at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains a lot of attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are focusing attention to its application with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-prescription intervention that is showing positive advantage for managing and making better osteoporosis which we know our McHenry chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will appreciate. 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 produced by calcium deficiency often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common form of osteoporosis. A way to fight osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be hard to do alone. Luckily, chondroitin sulfate has appeared as a natural companion in this attempts to help osteoporosis related to calcium deficiency.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A suitable addition.

Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to control lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its absorption by cells to be easier. This process permits cells to use 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 weighed its effectiveness against a calcium supplement, too. 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 showed excitement for the potential of postponing the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption. (1) This is good news for McHenry osteoporosis patients to insert into their calcium supplementation routine.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?

Calcium is recommended for osteoporosis all the time. Many of us lack sufficient calcium levels. 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 handling osteoporosis triggered by a deficinency of calcium. 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, stopped osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and eased osteoporosis.
