There are a variety of solutions to the problem of osteoporosis. Whatever choices you make should be made in consultation with your family doctor or a specialist and may require changes in lifestyle and diet, plus or minus hormone replacement or other supplemental or drug therapy. It is critical to address these issues, however, because osteoporosis is both preventable and treatable with proper nutritional supplementation with vitamins and minerals, in particular calcium. Bone Assure and similar formulas provide the ideal dosages and forms of calcium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and vitamin D3, boron and other nutrients to protect bone density. Supplemental hormones such as DHEA, 25-50mg a day and melatonin, 300mcg - 3mg each night should be considered by both men and women. Vitamin K in the dose of 10mg a day facilitates the formation of a bone-building protein and dramatically reduces fracture risk. (Do not take vitamin K if you are taking coumadin or some other type of anticoagulant medication.) Additionally, Soy extract may improve bone density and bone mineral content, 55-110mg of active isoflavones (genistein, daidzein, and glycitein) each day. Application of natural progesterone cream may stabilize or improve bone density. Follow dosage directions in the Osteoporosis protocol. Ipriflavone may suppress bone resorption, 300 mg a day. Using a supplement called Super GLA/DHA (provides gamma linolenic acid from borage oil and DHA from fish oil) is the best documented way of suppressing excess levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) that break down bone.
