Oxford Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures hurt. Fractures slow you down. 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. Satterwhite Chiropractic sees many Oxford osteoporotic patients and recommends preventive measures like nutritional supplementation to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Oxford chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Oxford chiropractor realizes that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D supports the health of bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening preferably should start 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 shares a some amazing facts:
(A) more than 500,000 fractures a year in the EU and 300,000 in the United States could be avoided if every adult with osteoporosis 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 big figures! Satterwhite Chiropractic surely urges backing this effort to save money and, more significantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Satterwhite Chiropractic is very confident that if you are going to make the effort to supplement with calcium and vitamin D, you want it to be effective. You want them to be absorbed as much as possible. That’s where the form of vitamin D you choose is important. Achieving and maintaining 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 trapped in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are known for decreased intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that require special drugs that prompt the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol effectively. The recommendation in this recent research paper is to take oral calcifediol (vitamin D3) as it is three to five times more powerful and has a higher rate of intestinal absorption.
