Vancouver Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures hurt. Fractures keep you from doing what you want to do. Fractures are pricey in not only in terms of money but also time and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be averted? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Vancouver Disc Centers treats many Vancouver osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Vancouver chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Vancouver chiropractor realizes that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D supports the health of bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening ideally 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 lists a couple amazing pieces of data:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the United States could be avoided if every adult with osteoporosis in the EU and US used calcium and vitamin D and
(B) lots of money could be saved: €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US. (1)
Those are some huge numbers! Vancouver Disc Centers surely encourages backing this effort to save money and, more importantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Vancouver Disc Centers is very confident that if you are going to make the effort to take calcium and vitamin D, you want it to be effective. You want them 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 a problem for people around the world. Why? Absorption. Absorption may be hindered in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get stuck in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are recognized for decreased intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that need special drugs that prompt 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 greater rate of intestinal absorption.
