Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Baton Rouge Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions get a lot of attention at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains much attention for the positive effect it has on osteoarthritis, so researchers are turning attention to its use 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 Baton Rouge 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-weakening condition caused by calcium deficiency often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common form of osteoporosis. One 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 effort to help osteoporosis related to calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A good addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to adjust lipid metabolism by reducing lipids 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 decrease inflammation and pain associated with osteoporosis which may help control the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a newer rat study, researchers examined chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and compared it to 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 deductions showed excitement for the potential in delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily consumption.

CALCIUM FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – What about a combo?
Osteoporosis sufferers are recommended calcium all the time. Many of us lack sufficient calcium levels. Both being non-drug interventions, calcium and chondroitin sulfate may enhance each other’s efforts. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound existing in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for dealing with osteoporosis caused 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 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 eased osteoporosis.
