Baton Rouge Chiropractic Tip: Chondroitin Sulfate for Diabetes Management

In the world of supplements, chondroitin sulfate is well-known for its care of cartilage and disc in Baton Rouge back pain. Its reputation grows in influence on specific spinal issues from cancer to knee osteoarthritis to cells and nerves. New research reveals positive effects on diabetes and its associated osteoporosis and inflammation. Spine & Sports Rehab Center reports on these new studies to assist our Baton Rouge 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 alleviated diabetic osteoporosis and mended the microstructure of bone via 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 obtained after 10 weeks of consuming chondroitin sulfate, and serum inflammatory cytokines (TNF-A, IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1) reduced.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE: Diabetic Osteoporosis

In another trial of oral chondroitin sulfate and whether it has anti-diabetic features, chondroitin sulfate was taken for 2 months. Preventive properties were demonstrated. It improved the symptoms of diabetes by increasing body weight, decreasing water or food intake, decreasing blood glucose, raising bone mineral density (BMD), repairing bone morphology and decreasing femoral osteoclasts. These benefits initiated 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 wrote that chondroitin sulfate can effectively avert bone loss triggered by diabetes.
