Chondroitin Sulfate Helps McHenry Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions gain a lot of attention at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains much attention for the benefit it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are turning attention to its use with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-prescription intervention demonstrating positive advantage in managing and making better osteoporosis which we are sure our McHenry 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 type of osteoporosis. One way to attack osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be hard to do alone. Fortunately, chondroitin sulfate has surfaced 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 control lipid metabolism by reducing lipids into littler particles can allow its absorption by cells more easily. This process permits cells to utilizes the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help handle the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a recent rat study, researchers examined chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and compared it to 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 conclusions communicated excitement for the potential in postponing the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use.

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 complement each other’s efforts. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for controlling osteoporosis caused by a deficinency of calcium. Another study reported that the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium eased 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, stopped osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and improved osteoporosis.
