Osteoporosis Drugs: Bone Loss, Bone Growth

Contrary to what you might read in pharmaceutical literature, the best treatment for osteoporosis should not simply entail preventing bone loss. After all, bone loss (resorption) is how your body gets rid of old bone so that it can be replaced with healthy, new bone. When you take osteoporosis drugs, this natural process is inhibited and if, in fact, you do experience bone density increase, the increased mass is achieved by keeping old bone rather than making new bone. The result? Your bones become weaker and more brittle; they lose flexibility.

Treatment for Osteoporosis

The good news is you don't have to accumulate old, less flexible bone to counter the effects of this disease. You can regain healthy bones without osteoporosis drugs by supporting your body's natural "genius" for making healthy bones with a balance between bone resorption and formation.

Developing and implementing an effective treatment for osteoporosis, osteopenia and bone loss, is not simply to add calcium to the diet. The solution has to do with improving the body's ability to use calcium. This is surprising to those who have long been told that the best way to counter bone loss is to ingest more of this mineral. Though getting the right amount of calcium is certainly important, the body requires an alphabet of minerals and vitamins to help in the absorption of calcium as well. Therefore, proper supplements in addition to a balanced diet and exercise are essential for building healthy bones.

Vitamins, magnesium and minerals are your body's allies in using the calcium that most of us already have plenty of in our diets. But which vitamins; how much magnesium; which minerals?

You'll notice that this website does not promote a miracle drug, nor is it about marketing a vast array of expensive supplements. Instead, you'll find a protocol that, followed closely, will allow you to support your body's ability to grow healthy bone.
