St Peters Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures are painful. Fractures slow you down. Fractures are pricey in not only in terms of money but also time and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be prevented? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those who have osteoporosis. Old Mill Chiropractic cares for many St Peters osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to preempt osteoporotic fractures and keep our St Peters chiropractic patients strong and fit.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your St Peters chiropractor realizes that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D feeds the bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening preferably should begin in the teen years, but supplementing at any age is of value. A new study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States shares a some startling pieces of data:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the United States could be avoided if every osteoporotic adult in the EU and US took calcium and vitamin D and
(B) lots of money could be saved: €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US. (1)
Those are some enormous numbers! Old Mill Chiropractic surely urges support of this effort to save money and, more importantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Old Mill Chiropractic is very certain that if you are making the effort to supplement with calcium and vitamin D, you want it to work. You want the nutrients to be absorbed as much as possible. That is where the form of vitamin D you choose is important. Achieving and keeping adequate levels of vitamin D is also key for bone and general health. This is an issue for people everywhere. Why? Absorption. Absorption may be hindered in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get stuck in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are recognized for decreased intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that need special drugs that prompt the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol successfully. The recommendation in this recent research paper is to use oral calcifediol (vitamin D3) as it is three to five times more powerful and has a higher rate of intestinal absorption. (2) Old Mill Chiropractic recognizes the importance of good absorption.
