Concord, NC Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are no fun. 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 prevented? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Pure Chiropractic sees many Concord, NC osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional supplementation to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Concord, NC chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Concord, NC chiropractor knows well that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D feeds the bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening preferably 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 startling facts:
(A) more than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the US could be prevented if every osteoporotic adult in the EU and US used 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 enormous numbers! Pure Chiropractic certainly encourages 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
Pure Chiropractic is very certain that if you are making the effort to take calcium and vitamin D, you want it to work. You want the nutrients to be absorbed as much as possible. That’s where the form of vitamin D you take is important. Attaining and maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D is also important for bone and general health. This is an issue 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 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 well. 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 greater rate of intestinal absorption. (2) Pure Chiropractic knows this is important.
