Self Assessment of Osteoporosis Risk – You Can Build Stronger Bones!

Below is a chart that uses weight and age as a self assessment tool. This chart is meant to be used as a decision assistance tool for postmenopausal women. The heavy lines divide high risk women (upper right), medium risk (middle of chart) and low risk (lower left of chart). Women with a score of less than two (those with high and medium risk, in the un-shaded area of the chart would be recommended for supplements and vitamins that support bone density. This chart refers to postmenopausal women and cut point on chart would vary slightly for men.

Osteoporosis Self-Assessment
Tool Risk Chart

U.S. Surgeon General reported that by the year 2010, 1 out of 2 Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk for fractures from osteoporosis or low bone mass. Osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually, including 300,000 hip fractures, and approximately 700,000 vertebral fractures, 250,000 wrist fractures, and more than 300,000 fractures at other sites. You need to protect yourself! Low levels of Calcium and Vitamin D are well-established risk factors for osteoporosis. A majority of Americans, especially women, are not consuming the primary nutrients for bone health.

CBS News Reports That Supplements can Protect You From Osteoporosis

As reported by CBS News, the biggest study ever to examine the value of the supplements suggested they offer some benefit against hip breaks among women over 60 and those who took the pills most faithfully.

As The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay explained in February 2006, calcium provides the building blocks necessary to make sure bones are dense and strong. Getting enough calcium can reduce the risk of fracture and the bone-weakening condition osteoporosis later on. Calcium supplements and vitamin D are regularly prescribed for bone health in post-menopausal women, who are at higher risk of osteoporosis as their estrogen levels decline. A newer study released earlier this year found that women who took supplements regularly reduced their chance of fracture more than those who didn't.

Calcium recommendations vary according to age. The National Academy of Sciences says adults over 50 need 1,200 milligrams per day. Vitamin D is also recommended each day to help the body absorb calcium.

Calcium & Magnesium Can Help You Avoid Osteoporosis Symptoms

Ultimate Bone Health is getting results and providing for healthy stronger bones as we age! With the average life span of Americans increasing each year, it is becoming more evident that it’s important to maintain strong bones so that we can all be active and enjoy life as we age. Your bone tissue is living tissue that is constantly breaking down and rebuilding itself. Maintaining the proper balance of nutrients is crucial for repairing and healing bones.

Our Ultimate Bone Health™ supplement provides a unique combination of Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Zinc, Copper, Boron, Silicon, Soy and more. This effective bone health supplement product is specifically formulated to repair, rebuild and strengthen bone in mature men and women.

Bones Are Continually Building Up and Breaking Down

After age 30, bone re-absorption slowly begins to exceed bone formation. Bone loss is most rapid in the first few years after menopause but persists into the postmenopausal years. Osteoporosis develops when bone re-absorption occurs too quickly or if replacement occurs too slowly. Osteoporosis is more likely to develop if you did not reach optimal bone mass during your bone building years.

Bone health and calcium are interrelated. If your diet does not provide enough calcium, calcium supplements should be part of your diet. Therefore, multivitamins with minerals usually do not have the amount of calcium needed as a supplement. Senior adults over age 45 have the greatest need for vitamin D and bone supplements and are less able to make vitamin D from sunlight.

As your bone tissue continuously builds up and breaks down, a process called remodeling, new bone is made and old bone is lost. Bones harden (or calcify) and become stronger when calcium, protein and phosphorus are deposited in them. In combination with weight bearing exercise and good nutrition, Bone Health Essentials™ will help protect precious bone tissue from degenerative diseases such as osteoporosis and osteomalacia. Our unique combination of high quality microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHC), Soy Isoflavonoids and trace minerals make it the excellent choice for those of us in our mature years seeking high performance bone support.

You Need More Support, You Need More Calcium

Bones provide the structure to protect internal organs, anchor muscles, store calcium and more. Your adequate Calcium consumption will help make strong bones, optimize bone mass, and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.

As a natural part of aging the bones lose calcium, making them less dense and therefore weaker. This decrease in bone mass affects both men and women which can lead to bone disease resulting in deformed posture, thin, brittle bones and loss of mobility.

A Wake-up Call for Women over 45

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association studied the bone status of a staggering 200,000 post-menopausal women. The study found an amazing 40% of post-menopausal women have "low" bone density, and over 7% have established osteoporosis. Even worse, by the time they were assessed, 11% of the women had suffered some type of fracture, yet they had not been put on appropriate supplement therapy to lessen the risk of future fractures.

This study should be a wake-up call for all of us over 45. A recent Canadian study found that osteoporosis may be much more common in men than it was previously believed. Debilitating fractures are more common with age. About 40% of women break a bone at one point in their lives, particularly in the hip, vertebra and wrist.

Osteoporosis is an Epidemic in the United States

The shocking fact is that more than 28 million Americans—or 1-in-10—suffer from this debilitating disease. Although osteoporosis can occur at any age, it is most common in those over age 50. During adulthood, the rate of bone loss gradually starts to outstrip the rate of bone formation at about this age. The rate of bone loss is more rapid starting at about age 55, especially for women following menopause.

When your diet does not contain enough Calcium to support your body’s daily functions, Calcium is robbed from your healthy bones. Studies show that low Calcium intake is associated with low bone mass, rapid bone loss, and high fracture rates. If your bone mass falls below a certain percentage of its maximum, you fall into the “fracture threshold." Below this point even a minor fall may result in a fracture. This is the condition called osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is associated with more than 1.5 million fractures in the United States each year. It has devastating impacts on quality of life, public health, and health care costs. One in two people who fracture a hip never resume their former lifestyle.

Since Osteoporosis is usually "invisible" until after the sixth decade of life, prevention is important to all adults over 45.

Ultimate Bone Health™ is the “Multi-Vitamin” Builder for your Bones

Calcium
Your bone health can be based on your levels of Calcium reserves. The body typically contains 900 to 1,500 grams (g) of Calcium, with about 99% found in bones. Although Calcium-rich foods are important, supplements are recommended for individuals who cannot achieve an adequate supply solely through diet.

The benefit of dietary Calcium on bone health, especially among elderly women, is well established and intakes below 1,000 mg/d are associated with lower peak bone mass. Recognizing Calcium's vital role in bone health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows Calcium-rich foods and dietary supplements to claim that Calcium helps fight osteoporosis.

An analysis of 20 major trials of Calcium loss indicates that postmenopausal women in control groups lose bone mass at the rate of 1% per year, whereas the rate for subjects taking Calcium supplements is 0.014%. Calcium supplementation reduced the relative risk of osteoporotic fractures by 25 to 70% among older women.

Magnesium
Magnesium is important for the absorption, utilization and metabolism of Calcium. Ultimate Bone Health™ contains both Calcium and Magnesium, providing maximum benefit in relation to bone health and optimal blood pressure control. Magnesium deficiency is common in our later years, due to the excessive consumption of processed foods throughout our lives, and the inadequate intake of whole, natural foods.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a hormone-like, fat soluble compound directly involved in Calcium metabolism and is best known for its ability to stimulate the absorption of these essential minerals. Vitamin D is required for rebuilding your bones!

Vitamin D is also beneficial for promoting bone health in those individuals who are unable to get sufficient exposure to sunlight (which stimulates the body’s manufacture of vitamin D), and/or are unable to produce adequate amounts of the active and most potent form of this vitamin in the body (possibly due to liver or kidney problems and/or as a result of one’s estrogen status, or a Magnesium or Boron deficiency).

SOY AND OSTEOPOROSIS

Soy helps to prevent and treat osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and often results in bone fractures. After about age 30, bones stop growing and absorb less calcium. There is a decrease in bone formation and an increase in bone breakdown. It becomes more important than ever to maintain levels of calcium in bones. Calcium in soy is easily absorbed by the body.

Although osteoporosis can affect anyone, it is most common in older women who have gone through menopause and have decreased estrogen levels. Estrogen protects bone strength, so women who have gone through menopause are more likely to lose bone strength.

Isoflavones, found in soy protein, play an important role in protecting bones. A breakthrough study at the University of Illinois at Urbana concluded that consuming soybean isoflavones can increase bone mineral content and bone density. Soy protein, consumed each day for six months, led to positive results in a test group of post-menopausal women.

Boron
Boron is necessary, along with Vitamin D, to stimulate the absorption and utilization of Calcium. Research studies suggest that Boron may be essential in the conversion of Vitamin D to its active form and may reduce the loss of Calcium.

Vitamin K
Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin that acts as a coenzyme in the synthesis of proteins involved in bone metabolism. It plays a role in maintaining healthy bone structure. A deficiency of this vitamin leads to the reduced mineralization of the bone.
