Osteoporosis...
Updated: Friday, January 12, 2007

Osteoporosis is a progressive weakening of the bones from loss of bone mass. There are two kinds of osteoporosis. Type 1 can be caused by loss of estrogen causing a depletion of minerals in the bones. Type 2 can be caused by a deficiency of calcium and vitamin D, usually linked to a poor diet that causes the body to steal calcium from the bones or inhibits the absorption of calcium. Bones become increasing brittle and extremely prone to breaking.

The following MINERALS may be beneficial for...
OSTEOPOROSIS!

+ BORON
Boron enhances the body’s ability to absorb calcium and magnesium. It may also promote beneficial levels of estrogen and testosterone in healthy post-menopausal women and help convert vitamin D to its active form, supporting the absorption of calcium.*

+ CALCIUM
Calcium performs numerous vital functions in the body. It combines with phosphorus to strengthen bones and is crucial for nerve conduction, muscle contraction and heartbeat. Calcium also helps prevent cramps brought on by exercise by avoiding lactic acid buildup.*

+ CHROMIUM
Chromium is essential to the metabolism of lipids, glucose and insulin. It promotes healthy glucose tolerance and helps regulate sugar levels in the body. Chromium also aids in the breakdown and distribution of proteins and carbohydrates.*

+ COPPER
Copper is heavily involved in the production of hemoglobin. It is also involved in the production of colagen, the protein responsible for the integrity of bone, cartilege, skin and tendon, and elastin, a major component of large blood vessels.*

+ GOLD
Gold is thought to have a chelation effect on free radicals.*

+ IODINE
Iodine is crucial for the health of the thyroid gland and is essential for the production of two key hormones that help regulate a host of body processes including resting metabolic rate, heart rate, heat production and energy levels.*

+ MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is essential for every major biological process. It is necessary for 300+ enzymatic reactions and is vital for calcium metabolism. Magnesium is not a trace mineral, but a major entity in our bodies.*

+ MANGANESE
Manganese is involved in protein, fat and energy metabolism. It's primary function, though, is as an antioxidant. Manganese is an essential part of biochemical reactions that affect bone, cartilage and brain function.*

+ PHOSPHORUS
Phosphorus is the body's source of phosphate, which helps create and manage energy, synthesize protein, fat and carbohydrates, contract muscles, and maintain the body's PH. It is also essential for stimulating hormone production and helping the body utilize the B vitamins. It combines with calcium to help form the latticework for strong bones and teeth. Over 80% of the body’s phosphorus is located in bone.*

+ SILICA
Silica is an element required for the proper functioning of the enzyme prolyhydroxylase. This enzyme functions in the formation of: collagen in bone, cartilage, and connective tissue. Silica is also a natural diuretic.*

+ SILVER
Silver is a powerfully effective all natural antibiotic, disinfectant, and germ fighter: it kills bacteria, fungus, and viral infections.*

+ SULFUR
Sulfur is an essential component of biotin, thiamin and pantothenic acid. It is found in all skin and connective tissue and is vital for the growth of hair and nails. Sulfur plays an important role in energy metabolism, insulin production and hormone synthesis.*

+ ZINC
Zinc is required for the production of both RNA and DNA, the basic building blocks of the body. It assists the body in making the 200+ enzymes and is essential in the development and continuous normal functioning of the central nervous system. Zinc also plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.*

The following VITAMINS may be beneficial for...
OSTEOPOROSIS!

+ COBALAMINE (B12)
Vitamin B12

+ VITAMIN A (& CAROTENOIDS)
Vitamin A helps prevent eye disorders, skin disorders like acne, cancer, colds, influenza and other infections. It enhances immunity and acts as an antioxidant. Vitamin A is needed for skin and mucous membrane health, bone and teeth formation, and protein utilization. It helps slow the aging process.*

+ VITAMIN B COMPLEX
The B vitamins promote healthy nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, gastrointestinal tract, and brain function. The B vitamins are also coenzymes involved in energy production. B Complex is important for elderly people and a deficiency can mimic Alzheimer's disease.*

+ VITAMIN C (ASCORBIC ACID)
Vitamin C performs hundreds of functions in the body. It is crucial for the production of antibodies, strengthens connective tissues, helps reduce the duration and severity of a cold, assists with wound healing, and protects other vitamins from oxidation.*

+ VITAMIN D
Vitamin D helps the intestines absorb and use calcium and phosphorus, regulates heartbeat, develops bones and teeth in children, prevents and treats osteoporosis, and is necessary for blood clotting and thyroid function.

+ VITAMIN E
Vitamin E

+ VITAMIN K
Vitamin K is aids in blood clotting, bone formation and repair, and converting glucose into glycogen.*
