Do you want to improve your bone health?
Get the right nutritional advice for stronger bones
Do you suffer from osteoporosis or osteopenia? Do you have reduced height, or fracture easily? Do you also have or are you at risk of vitamin D deficiency? Or perhaps you are concerned about supporting your bone health, as you get older and want to improve bone density?
Our bones make up the body’s framework, protecting our internal organs and working in conjunction with our muscles and joints to keep us mobile. As we get older, our bone density decreases, increasing the risk of developing osteopenia or osteoporosis which can lead to bone fractures.
Maintaining good bone density as we age requires many nutrients, as well as ensuring our hormone balance and inflammation are managed, so get some expert support to improve your bone health.

What causes bone density loss and osteoporosis?
One of the most common bone diseases, osteoporosis, involves a gradual loss of bone tissue, leaving the bones less dense and more prone to fracture. Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because it can progress gradually for many years without any symptoms. Adult bone mass is determined by the amount of bone formed during childhood, with peak bone mass being complete by 30-35 years of age.
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in the UK, affecting one in three women and is increasing amongst post-menopausal women as reduced levels of the hormone oestrogen – necessary to help retain calcium in bones – decrease in women during this stage of life. Although men have more bone mass than women and tend to consume more calcium than women, one in twelve men will also suffer from osteoporosis after the age of fifty.
Many factors contribute to the development of osteoporosis, including diet, vitamin D deficiency, low levels of vitamin K, boron, calcium or magnesium, lack of exercise, excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption, and genetic inheritance. Other factors include low muscle mass, inflammation, poor digestion linked to decreased mineral absorption, stress and poor blood sugar regulation due to the stress hormone, cortisol, increasing bone loss.
A healthy, balanced diet is essential for forming and maintaining strong bones, whilst regular exercise is essential to maintain their healthy function. If you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis or want to reduce the risk, you can look for comprehensive bone health supplements with key nutrients supporting your bone mineralisation.
