osteoporosis, natural osteoporosis treatments Like any illness, prevention is the best insurance available.  Don't wait until you have osteoporosis to do something.  It is much harder to build up bone density once it is depleted than it is to just maintain strong healthy bones.  Also osteoporosis is not just a concern for our elderly any more.  Many younger people are developing the early warning signs of osteoporosis known as osteopenia.  We all need to be concerned with maintaining strong bones.

Did you know...
  • 10 million Americans have osteoporosis
  • 34 million Americans are at risk for developing osteoporosis

Calcium alone is not enough...

Think of calcium as the bricks to building strong and healthy bones. Bricks can only be strong and stable when combined with mortar - in the case of calcium, the mortar consists of vitamin D, magnesium, boron, vitamin K, zinc copper and manganese.*

With these nutrients, calcium has the support it needs to build bone density when you're young and minimize bone loss as you age.* --Shaklee News

----------------------- A Note From an Avid Reader in Illinois -------------------
After having my children, my bone density was below normal because of the need to use steroids during my pregnancies.  Having been a natural body builder prior to pregnancy, you'd expect my bone density to be great.  Weight bearing exercises help increase bone density.  However, because of the lupus and the need for steroids to protect my unborn children from birth defects, my bone density had diminished below normal.  I had tried many different kinds of calcium to no avail.  After researching how different companies actually have a wide range of quality, I decided to try another brand, Shaklee's OsteoMatrix.  Six months later, I had my bone density redone.  Now my bone density is above average.  There definitely is something to be said for a company that is the #1 Natural Company in the US.  I only wish I had found them earlier.  Tested, proven and absorbed - that's what I like.  Guaranteed always helps too.
