Osteo-Support

Osteoporosis affects nearly 10 million people and results in 1.5 million fractures each year, mostly in the spine, hip or wrist. Called the “silent disease” because outward signs are limited until it has progressed, osteoporosis results in loss of bone density and a gradual deterioration. While some treatments are available to slow or reverse the deterioration, the best approach is prevention. Osteoporosis is most frequently seen in women but also affects men.

Osteo-support provides a complete formulation of natural supplements to support bone health. Three important elements are calcium, Vitamin D, and magnesium. Calcium is a basic building block but less than half of the population gets sufficient amounts through the diet. In addition, high intake of caffeine and carbonated drinks can deplete calcium levels. Vitamin D and magnesium also play key roles in calcium absorption and bone building activities.

Ipriflavone is derived from several plant compounds called isoflavones. Ipriflavone has demonstrated effectiveness at increasing bone density and since the 1980’s has been available in some countries as a prescription drug for treating or preventing osteoporosis. It works particularly well when combined with calcium.

Soy isoflavones also appear to help maintain bone density. Boron helps the body metabolize calcium and magnesium. Copper aids in bone formation. Horsetail is a natural herb shown in Italian studies to increase bone density.

Osteo-support provides 120% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium. Additional elements work together to provide you outstanding support for healthy bones.
