Fort Wayne Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures are painful. Fractures slow you down. Fractures are costly in terms of time, money and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be averted? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic sees many Fort Wayne osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional supplementation to preempt osteoporotic fractures and keep our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients strong and fit.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Fort Wayne chiropractor knows well that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D supports the health of 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 shares a couple startling statistics:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the United States could be prevented if every osteoporotic adult in the EU and US took calcium and vitamin D and
(B) €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US could be saved. (1)
Those are some big figures! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic 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
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is very certain that if you are going to make the effort to supplement with calcium and vitamin D, you want it to be effective. You want them to be absorbed as much as possible. That is where the type of vitamin D you choose is important. Attaining and keeping proper levels of vitamin D is also key for bone and general health. This is a problem for people around the world. Why? Absorption. Absorption may be delayed in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get stuck in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are known for decreased intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that require special drugs that prompt the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol successfully. The recommendation in this new research paper is to use oral calcifediol (vitamin D3) as it is three to five times more powerful and has a greater rate of intestinal absorption.
