IBF Dynergy Center for Bone Health   Osteoporosis is preventable and treatable!

 Osteoporosis is a disease condition that is both preventable and treatable. In persons who are already suffering from osteoporosis, treatment can diminish additional bone loss and prevent additional fractures. The misperception that osteoporosis is a normal part of aging results in too many women, mostly over the age of 50, unnecessarily suffering significant pain, deformity, or death.

In osteoporosis, the inside of the bones becomes porous from a loss of calcium (see the picture below). This is called losing bone mass. Over time, this weakens the bones and makes them more likely to break.

Bone is living, growing tissue constantly being formed and broken down. Early in life, more bone tissue is formed than broken down, allowing the skeleton to grow. By about age 30 your bones are at your lifetime best, or your "peak bone mass." After this peak, bone maintains equilibrium until about age 50 in women and 60 in men. Then, bone breaks down faster than it forms. The resulting bone loss affects both men and women. Bone loss can lead to osteoporosis.

Once total bone mass has peaked—around age 35—all adults start to lose it. In women, the rate of bone loss speeds up after menopause, when estrogen levels fall. Since the ovaries make estrogen, faster bone loss may also occur if both ovaries are removed by surgery.

Today, osteoporosis is a major health threat all over the world. In the United States, 10 million individuals already have the disease and 34 million more have low bone density, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures.

Osteoporosis is the most common cause of hip fractures, a tragedy that can result in permanent disability, loss of independence or death. A woman's risk of a hip fracture is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer.

What are the signs of osteoporosis?

You may not know you have osteoporosis until you have serious signs. Signs include broken bones, low back pain or a hunched back. You may also get shorter over time because osteoporosis can cause your vertebrae (the bones in your spine) to collapse. These problems tend to occur after a lot of bone calcium has already been lost.

Am I at risk for osteoporosis? Risk factors for osteoporosis

• Menopause before age 48
• Surgery to remove ovaries before menopause
• Not getting enough calcium
• Not getting enough exercise
• Smoking
• Osteoporosis in your family
• Alcohol abuse
• Thin body and small bone frame
• Fair skin (Caucasian or Asian race)
• Hyperthyroidism
• Long-term use of oral steroids

Osteoporosis is preventable and treatable!

Of the two major forms of arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid arthritis) osteoarthritis is the most prevalent. All individuals suffering from arthritis will see damage to cartilage eventually, caused by the inflammation process in the joints.

This means help is needed on two levels, one for the pain relief caused by inflammation, the other for cartilage repair. Ostobolan works on both of these levels.
