Fernandina Beach Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures hurt. 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 who have osteoporosis. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic sees many Fernandina Beach osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Fernandina Beach 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 new study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States shares a some amazing facts:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the United States could be prevented if every adult with osteoporosis in the EU and US used 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 enormous figures! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic surely urges backing this effort to save money and, more importantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is quite certain that if you are making the effort to supplement with calcium and vitamin D, you want it to be effective. You want the nutrients to be absorbed as much as possible. That’s where the type of vitamin D you take is important. Attaining and keeping proper levels of vitamin D is also important for bone and general health. This is an issue for people around the world. Why? Absorption. Absorption may be hindered in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get trapped in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are recognized for reduced intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that require special drugs that predispose the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol effectively. 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 higher rate of intestinal absorption. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic recognizes the importance of good absorption.
