How Can I Fight Osteoporosis?

Supplements For Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis has two basic types. Type 1 is associated with hormonal changes, particularly the loss of estrogen, while Type 2 is associated with dietary deficiencies -like lack of calcium & vitamin D. There are a number of supplements that can help meet some of the body's extra demands, such as bone building formulas. It's important that you don't exceed more than 3 mg of Boron daily, but do make sure you get at least 1,500 to 2,000 mg daily of calcium. Other vital supplements include Glucosamine & Chondroitin, silica and magnesium. L-Lysine & L-arginine (amino acids) help a lot in calcium absorption and connnective tissue strength. Don't take these with milk and take 50 mg vitamin B-6 & 100 mg vitamin C for better absoption.
