People lose bone mass or density as they get older, especially women after menopause. Without proper care, bones can become brittle and the risk of osteoporosis and fracture increases. You cannot control the aging process, but you can incorporate natural bone boosting supplements to your diet and everyday routine.

When it comes to taking care of your bones, you need to go beyond calcium supplements. As important as this mineral is to bone health, there are other natural compounds that support the activity of calcium to better support bone strength. With clinically studied ingredients like patented Calzbone® Cissus quadrangularis, the star of 1MD’s OsteoMD® formula, you can prevent bone loss, and reduce the risk of fracture and bone disease.

The Aging Bone

Bone metabolism is a continual cycle of bone formation and resorption. This balance is carefully controlled by the dynamic relationship between osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Osteoclasts are bone cells that are responsible for bone resorption while osteoblasts are responsible for the formation of new bone. Through this cycle bones rebuild themselves with the help of nutrients from your diet.
