- Also contains Soylife, which provides standardized levels of isoflavones which have been shown through studies to be effective in preventing osteoporosis.
History and Usage:
During their lifetime, women run a 40% risk of developing osteoporosis, a loss of bone mass. Nearly half of women age 50 or older will suffer from it. Osteoporosis can also affect men with one in eight experiencing bone fractures due to osteoporosis. Among the elderly, one-quarter die as a direct or indirect result of hip fractures resulting from osteoporosis.
Osteo-Support contains everything you need to help support normal bone health including 1200 mg of calcium, 200 IU of Vitamin D, 200 mg of ipriflavone from Ostivone and numerous other nutrients.
Vitabase Osteo-Support provides needed calcium for strong bones. According to the National Institutes of Health, it is not unusual for many individuals to consume less than half the calcium they need for building and maintaining healthy bones. Heavy use of caffeine, such as in coffee, large intake of sodium phosphates found in carbonated drinks and alcohol can cause drops in the calcium the body retains.
Getting enough calcium in the diet is important for treating and/or preventing a number of health issues. Research has shown calcium may impact conditions such as osteoporosis, hypoarathyroidism, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, colon problems, obesity, tooth and gum disease and insomnia. Calcium is the most plentiful mineral in the body. To function properly, calcium must be accompanied by several other nutrients including Vitamins A, C, D and K, phosphorus and magnesium.
Osteo-Support also includes 200 mg of ipriflavone, a synthetic derivative of genestein or daidzein. Genestein and daidzein are isoflavones, natural plant components that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy properties. Ipriflavone has been studied extensively by the natural health industry particularly for treatment of osteoporosis. Since the 1980’s, ipriflavone has been available in Japan, Argentina and Europe as a prescription drug for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Research studies have shown positive results from ipriflavone supplementation in maintaining or increasing bone mineral density, particularly when combined with a calcium supplement. In studies, ipriflavone was shown to have potential to prevent rapid bone loss after menopause, to increase bone density in post-menopausal women, to decrease bone fracturing, and relieve bone pain from osteoporosis.
Vitamin D is necessary for growth. It is utilized in the digestive tract to aid in the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus.
The body needs small amounts of Boron for healthy bones. It works synergistically to metabolize calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. In post-menopausal women, boron helps prevent osteoporosis and build muscle.
Osteoporosis may be a sign of copper deficiency. Copper aids in the formation of bone.
Horsetail is a natural ingredient packed with minerals, particularly silica. Silica is vital for the body’s absorption of calcium and has been used to treat arthritis and osteoporosis.
Current studies indicate that women approaching menopause who increase their intake of soy isoflavones have significantly higher bone mineral density. Japanese women with diets rich in soy isoflavones had greater bone mineral density than those with diets low in soy isoflavones.
Osteo-support provides you with all the necessary ingredients for strong bones in one convenient form. With 120% of the recommended daily allowance of calcium plus Ostivone, you will be well on your way to maintaining healthy bones for a lifetime.
