Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management

March 23, 2022

In the nutritional supplement world, chondroitin sulfate is recognized for its care of cartilage and disc in Ashburn and Herndon back pain. Its reputation keeps growing for influence on specific conditions from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. Recent research positively affects diabetes and its related osteoporosis and inflammation. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn shares these new studies to assist our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic back pain as well as diabetic patients. 

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetes and Inflammation

Chondroitin sulfate is powerful for diabetes in addition to disc nutrition. It’s written that it can reduce blood glucose and relieve symptoms related to diabetes. In new studies, it soothed diabetic osteoporosis and mended the microstructure of bone due to its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bone metabolism-regulating features in diabetic rats. The research studies keep coming! A recent report states that these outcomes were attained after 10 weeks of taking chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) lowered. (1) Part of the chiropractic treatment plan at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is nutrition. The use of chondroitin sulfate is providing benefit that Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients may appreciate. 

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis

In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic properties, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were revealed. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by raising body weight, reducing water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and reducing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits prompted the researchers to write that chondroitin sulfate could prevent diabetic osteoporosis through the decrease of blood glucose along with antioxidative stress, anti-inflammation, and regulation of serum levels of OPG/RANKL. In summary, they stated that chondroitin sulfate can capably avert bone loss brought on by diabetes.
