But then there are other uncontrollable factors that play into our susceptibility to osteoporosis—namely, age. Our likelihood of getting osteoporosis increases with age, and again, especially if you’re a woman. Women are more prone to osteoporosis because they naturally have lighter and smaller bones than men. Plus, when women reach menopause, their estrogen levels decrease. Because estrogen is a hormone that helps protect bone in a woman’s body, this often results in bone loss. Alongside these basics, taking a bone health supplement can make all the difference. OsteoMD® is a physician-formulated bone health supplement created specifically to address the growing bone health epidemic (affecting millions of American women). This clinically studied supplement combines four essential nutrients that help build and maintain strong bones, including Calzbone® and MenaQ7®—natural ingredients clinically proven to support bone health.* This supplement also provides vitamin D3, which helps store the body’s natural calcium deposits on the bone matrix.* These fundamental ingredients are the bare bones of skeletal strength.* Adam Kreitenberg, M.D., the doctor who formulated OsteoMD®, shares the comprehensive mission of this supplement: “to help people live longer, healthier lives through the powerful integration of advanced science and nature.” “Most people don’t realize that fractures can be deadly for people over 50. The fact of the matter is that half of all women and a quarter of all men over 50 will break a bone due to low bone density. Fifty percent of older adults who break a hip will never fully recover. Ten percent will end up in a nursing home. And 33% die within a year.” And making OsteoMD® a regular part of our routine is exactly how we can do that. A little more on how this formula’s four key ingredients support our bone health: Calzbone® supports bone-formation and calcium utilization, MenaQ7® helps make the protein necessary for bone formation, vitamin D3 helps promote calcium absorption, and calcium hydroxyapatite is a mineral form of calcium and the substance on which bones are mineralized.* Devon’s first book, Earth Women, is coming soon.
