More than 28 million Americans, 80% whom are women, are severely at risk

Worse yet, "fracture complications resulting from osteoporosis have resulted in more deaths than breast, uterine, cervical, and ovarian cancer combined!"
Dr. James McHale

Osteoporosis greatly impairs your quality of life by causing not only severe pain and deformity, but your ability to move and be active is ruined, and the psychological fear of breaking more bones is terrorizing.

Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility to fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist.

Osteoporosis is a devastating condition which affects over 23,000,000 Americans, crippling more than 1,200,000 each year.

Add 80 percent of all people over 40 who show signs of either degenerative or rheumatoid arthritis to this equation, and the number of people who suffer from some form of structural weakness becomes staggering!

Research shows that we need more nutrients than previously thought for healthy maintenance of teeth, bones, joints and muscles.

For instance, Osteoporosis, (also known as “Brittle Bone Disease” because of accelerated bone loss, extreme bone fragility and increased susceptibility to bone fractures) has been clinically linked to insufficient dietary calcium.

Surveys indicate that few people consume necessary amounts of bone-building nutrients in their diet. Less than 35% of women, for example, consume the 1,000 milligrams of calcium recommended by regulatory agencies, and far less consume the 1,200 milligrams recommended by leading nutritionists.

Osteoporosis is NOT the mistaken "old persons' disease." It can happen at ANY age.

Frighteningly, evidence of dietary calcium deficiencies is even showing up in teens, preteens, even children.

80% of those affected by osteoporosis are women.

8 million American women and 2 million men have osteoporosis, and millions more have low bone density.

One in two women and one in eight men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.

10% of African-American women over age 50 have osteoporosis; an additional 30% have low bone density that puts them at risk of developing osteoporosis.

Significant risk has been reported in people of all ethnic backgrounds.

While osteoporosis is often thought of as an older person's disease, it can strike anybody at any age.

Are YOU at risk?

Certain people are more likely to develop osteoporosis than others. Factors that increase the likelihood of developing osteoporosis are called "risk factors." The following risk factors have been identified:

Being female
Thin and/or small frame
Advanced age
A family history of osteoporosis
Postmenopause, including early or surgically induced menopause
Abnormal absence of menstrual periods (amenorrhea)
Anorexia nervosa or bulimia
A diet low in calcium
Use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids and anticonvulsants
Low testosterone levels in men
An inactive lifestyle
Cigarette smoking
Excessive use of alcohol
Being Caucasian or Asian, although African Americans and Hispanic Americans are at significant risk as well

Women can lose up to 20% of their bone mass in the 5-7 years following menopause, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually, including:

300,000 hip fractures; and approximately
700,000 vertebral fractures,
250,000 wrist fractures; and
300,000 fractures at other sites

Osteoporosis is often called the "silent disease" because bone loss occurs without symptoms. People may not know that they have osteoporosis until their bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a fracture or a vertebra to collapse.

How do you prevent Osteoporosis?

A balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D
Weight-bearing exercise
A healthy lifestyle with no smoking or excessive alcohol intake, and
Bone density testing and medication when appropriate
