Manahawkin Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are no fun. Fractures are painful. Fractures keep you from doing what you want to do. Fractures are pricey in terms of time, money and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be averted? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center treats many Manahawkin osteoporotic patients and recommends preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to preempt osteoporotic fractures and keep our Manahawkin chiropractic patients strong and healthy.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Manahawkin chiropractor is quite aware 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 recent study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States reveals a some amazing facts:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the EU and 300,000 in the United States could be avoided if every adult with osteoporosis 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 huge numbers! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center certainly encourages 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
Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is very certain that if you are making the effort to take calcium and vitamin D, you want it to be effective. 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 maintaining 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 slowed in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get trapped in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are known for reduced intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that need special drugs that predispose the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol well. 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.
