Description

Osteo Strength – A complete formula In crafting a good bone health supplement, nutrients need to be chosen so as to support bone strength directly, and to support those tasks that affect the absorption and proper utilization of those nutrients. Vitazan Professional Osteo Strength is a well-rounded solution for anyone looking to maintain healthy bones, so as to avoid the catastrophic complications that osteoporosis can cause. Though osteoporosis is a chronic disease with no cure, properly looking after your body and providing it with the nutrients that it needs is a step in coping with this disease. This will allow you to get back on the right track to a healthy, positive quality of life.

The problem

Silent but dangerous Bone mass is constantly being regenerated and depleted in our bodies. During youth, regeneration outpaces deterioration causing us to grow in size. As we age, this ratio reverses and we begin to shrink. Luckily a delicate balance should maintain our bone strength at an optimal level. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Osteoporosis refers to a weakening of bone density and cohesion within the body. This can lead to enhanced bone fragility and increased risk of fracture. The condition is also characterized by an abnormal mineral/collagen ratio.

The problem with osteoporosis is that it shows almost no outward signs or symptoms. Typically people afflicted by this chronic disease only become aware of the condition once an actual fracture occurs. Osteoporosis is not related to any other chronic disease, but is simply a result of the aging process in men, and of the loss of gonodal function in women.

Who is at risk?

Osteoporosis and your environment: There are no specific factors that determine whether or not you will develop osteoporosis. Individuals who smoke or consume too much alcohol are at greater risk of developing osteoporosis. Though as we age, this disease becomes more and more of a concern, especially as we tend to exercise less. Weight bearing exercise helps maintain bone strength; lack of it serves the opposite purpose as our bodies get lazy.

Women and osteoporosis: Women are four times more likely than men to develop this disease. Their reduced levels of estrogen during menopause greatly increase their risk for this disease and this is exacerbatued by the fact that most women simply do not consume enough calcium to maintain proper bone health. Three out of four women get less than the recommended intake of 1200 mgs daily, while only about half of the general population receives sufficient amounts.

Osteoporosis and men: In men, osteoporosis is nothing to be laughed at. Though at a lesser degree of risk than women, 30% of all hip fractures and up to 20% of symptomatic vertebral fractures occur in men.

Time and osteoporosis: Serious complications can occur late in life. However, actual bone density reduction can begin to appear much earlier on. Bones do not become fragile overnight. Starting around age 35 we lose up to one percent of our bone mass each year. For women, this loss of density accelerates greatly following menopause.

Healthy bone support for strong bones Vitazan Professional Osteo Strength represents a state of the art formulation focused on providing maximum bone support for strong healthy bones. We’ve included a myriad of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and nutraceuticals to aid your body in fortifying its bone structure.

A common misconception is that calcium is the only nutrient required to fend off complications with respect to our bones. This is simply not the case. While elemental calcium is essential, other minerals and nutrients, including protein and vitamins C, D3, B1 and K1 are needed to maintain and correct calcium levels and promote superior bone health.

Included

• Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite: Vitazan Professional Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA) comes from pasture fed, antibiotic free, pesticide free cows. Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite represents the most readily absorbable kind of calcium. Its form is identical to the form of calcium found in human bones. As such this allows your body to quickly and directly assimilate MCHA in order to help strengthen and reinforce bones so as to prevent bone density loss and degradation. MCHA is also a rich source of minerals and nutrients that is important for your bone’s health.
• Calcium: Calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium helps to increase both levels of bone growth and density as well as inhibit absorption of toxic metals such as lead into your bone mass.
• Phosphorus: Phosphorus helps your body utilize certain vitamins and nutrients more effectively. As well, phosphorus is vital for proper cell growth and bone and tooth development.
• Protein: A source of energy, protein is used in the creation of enzymes, tissue and hormonal factors, and also helps maintain a correct pH (acid-alkali balance) within the body.
• Magnesium: Though magnesium helps prevent calcification of soft tissue, its primary usefulness in a bone strengthening formulation is linked to its ability to aid in the proper absorption and utilization of calcium and potassium.
  Zinc: Zinc allows your body to more efficiently absorb vitamin A & E. As well, Zinc is a vital nutrient required for proper collagen formation and protein synthesis.
• Manganese: Manganese is directly linked to proper bone growth, cartilage formation and production of synovial (lubricating) fluid in the joints.
• Copper: Like manganese, copper also helps bone, connective tissue and collagen formation. Combined with vitamin C and zinc these help form elastin, the protein that makes up elastic tissue linking your bones.
• Boron: Boron helps support your body’s proper absorption of calcium. In a study conducted by the American Department of Agriculture, boron was found to reduce the amount of calcium lost through urine by 40% after eight days of supplementation.
• Horsetail: A nutraceutical, horsetail contains a high amount of silica, a form of silicon which helps speed reparation of connective tissue between your bones. This added strength and elasticity is an important part of proper bone health.
• Vitamin C: One of the most well known antioxidants, vitamin C is a valuable addition to Vitazan Professional Osteo Strength as it plays an important role in your body’s ability to repair and properly grow its bone adjoining tissue.
• Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 or calciferol, is a precursor to vitamin D. Once in your body Vitamin D3 is quickly converted into Vitamin D, which is a required requisite for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, both critical in the maintenance of bone health.
• Vitamin B1: Vitamin B1 or thiamin, is a powerful antioxidant which helps prevent cell degradation. In addition to this, thiamin strengthens circulation, blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism and digestion within the body, factors that once more influence your ability to maintain proper bone health.
• Vitamin K: Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin used in the synthesis of osteocalcin, a noncollagenous protein in bones which calcium crystallizes. Osteocalcin is the most abundant noncollagenous protein in bone; its presence helps signal recruitment for bone regeneration.
• L-Lysine: L-Lysine is included in Osteo Strength for its ability to increase proper calcium absorption within the body.
• L-Proline: Amino acids are building blocks of life, involved in such disparate tasks as the proper synthesis of DNA and the maintenance of young vibrant healthy skin. L-Proline is the amino acid used in the production of collagen and cartilage for healthy joints, ligaments and tendons. Among its other building block tasks, L-Proline is involved in the proper support of cartilage, connective tissue repair and wound healing.
• Glucosamine Sulfate: Glucosamine Sulfate is a natural component of cartilage that stimulates the production of connective tissue between bones, joints and ligaments.
