Largo Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D

Fractures are no fun. Fractures are painful. Fractures slow you down. Fractures are costly in terms of time, money and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be prevented? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees many Largo osteoporotic patients and recommends preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Largo chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.

SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES

Your Largo chiropractor knows well that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D supports the health of bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening ideally should start in the teen years, but supplementing at any age is of value. A new study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States shares a couple amazing statistics:

(A) more than 500,000 fractures a year in the EU and 300,000 in the United States could be prevented if every osteoporotic adult in the EU and US took calcium and vitamin D and

(B) €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US could be saved. (1)

Those are some huge numbers! Hollstrom & Associates Inc certainly urges support of this effort to save money and, more significantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.

THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY

Hollstrom & Associates Inc is very confident that if you are going to make the effort to supplement with calcium and vitamin D, you want it to work. You want them to be absorbed as much as possible. That is where the form of vitamin D you take is important. Attaining and keeping adequate 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 stuck in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are recognized for decreased intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that require special drugs that prompt the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol successfully. The recommendation in this new research paper is to take oral calcifediol (vitamin D3) as it is three to five times more powerful and has a greater rate of intestinal absorption. (2) Hollstrom & Associates Inc recognizes the importance of good absorption.
