A lack of calcium is the major cause of osteoporosis,
with the gradual loss of bone mass resulting in increased fractures, loss
of height, pain in the hip and back, and spinal curvature. This condition
primarily affects women, as bone mass is approximately 30 percent greater
in men than women. Other causes of osteoporosis include an inability to
absorb sufficient amounts of calcium through the intestine, a lack of
exercise and a lactose intolerance. Bone strengthening relies on the right
levels of calcium and other mineral catalysts for bone building and preserving
bone tissue. A diet adequate in protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
vitamin C and vitamin D along with an effective supplement program including
these nutrients are extremely beneficial. If there is no genetic history
of osteoporosis, then look to a basic calcium/magnesium supplement to
build up stores of bone mass. If you suffer from osteoporosis or your
risk is high, it is recommended to use a more advanced bone-building formula
that delivers all the nutrients involved in bone building.
