Williamson Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures hurt. 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 averted? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Apple Country Chiropractic sees many Williamson osteoporotic patients and recommends preventive measures like nutritional supplementation to preempt osteoporotic fractures and keep our Williamson chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Williamson chiropractor is quite aware that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D supports the health of bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening ideally should begin 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 some amazing pieces of data:
(A) more than 500,000 fractures a year in the EU 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) lots of money could be saved: €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US. (1)
Those are some huge figures! Apple Country Chiropractic 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
Apple Country 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 the nutrients to be absorbed as much as possible. That is where the type of vitamin D you take is important. Attaining and keeping proper levels of vitamin D is also key for bone and general health. This is an issue for people around the world. Why? Absorption. Absorption may be slowed 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 effectively. 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.
