Sitka Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures are painful. 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 prevented? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka cares for many Sitka osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Sitka chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Sitka chiropractor knows well that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D feeds the bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening ideally should begin in the teen years, but supplementing at any age is beneficial. A new study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States reveals a couple amazing statistics:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the US could be avoided if every osteoporotic adult in the EU and US took 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 enormous numbers! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka surely urges support of this effort to save money and, more importantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is very 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 is where the type of vitamin D you choose is important. Achieving and keeping proper levels of vitamin D is also key for bone and general health. This is a problem for people everywhere. 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 well. 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.
