Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Ashburn and Herndon Osteoporosis

The “osteo” conditions gain a lot of attention at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains a lot of attention for the positive effect it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are turning attention to its application with the other “osteo”: osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate is a non-pharmaceutical intervention that is showing benefit for managing and making better osteoporosis which we know our Ashburn and Herndon 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-weakening condition caused by calcium deficiency many times resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual type of osteoporosis. A way to attack 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 control lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into littler particles can allow its absorption by cells more easily. This process allows cells to use the lipids more efficiently, leading to stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps decrease inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help control 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 repaired femur calcium, bone fracture deflection, and serum indices and improved cortical bone density, mechanical strength, and mineral content of bone. Their deductions expressed excitement for the potential in postponing the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use. (1) This is beneficial news for Ashburn and Herndon osteoporosis patients to insert into 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 complement each other’s effects. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound existing in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for handling osteoporosis caused 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 slowed down the inflammatory response, lowered short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, halted osteoclast differentiation, elevated the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and improved osteoporosis.
