Chondroitin Sulfate Helps Oxford Osteoporosis
The “osteo” conditions receive much attention at Satterwhite Chiropractic and in the research labs. “Chondroitin sulfate” gains a lot of 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-pharmaceutical intervention demonstrating benefit for managing and improving osteoporosis which we know our Oxford chiropractic patients with osteoporosis will welcome. 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 often resulting in painful bone fractures and reduced mobility. Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most usual form of osteoporosis. A way to fight osteoporosis is by balancing calcium levels in the body; however, it can be hard to do alone. Luckily, chondroitin sulfate has surfaced as a natural companion in this effort to help osteoporosis caused by calcium deficiency.
CHONDROITIN SULFATE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS – A good addition.
Chondroitin sulfate’s ability to control lipid metabolism by breaking lipids down into smaller particles can allow its absorption by cells to be easier. This process permits cells to use the lipids better, resulting in stronger bones and muscles. Chondroitin sulfate also helps reduce inflammation and pain related to osteoporosis which may help manage the effects of calcium deficiency-related osteoporosis. In a recent rat study, researchers tested chondroitin sulfate for osteoporosis and weighed its effectiveness against a calcium supplement, also. 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 of postponing the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis with daily use.

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 efforts. Chondroitin sulfate, a natural compound found in the human body, has been shown to be an effective solution for controlling osteoporosis triggered by calcium deficiency. 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 slowed down the inflammatory response, lowered short chain fatty acid synthesis in intestinal flora, stopped osteoclast differentiation, promoted the absorption of calcium and antioxidant mechanism, and improved osteoporosis.
