Q. I would like to purchase items concerning osteoporosis and get some probiotics. However, I’m not sure what to buy.
A. Here are the products I would recommend for the conditions / supplements you've requested. I've included weblinks to all the products I'm recommending for you to read more about them!
*For Osteoporosis:*
Necessary:
- Osteoforce -bone building chelated mineral formula for strong bones! Recommend 2 tablets with breakfast, and 2 with dinner = 4 a day total.
- Vitamin D Synergy has a higher level of Vitamin D and necessary for bone mineralization, it also has vitamin K. The vitamin K is necessary to make sure the calcium in the blood ends up in the bones and not other areas of the body causing unnecessary calcification to organs or arteries. Recommend 1 capsule with dinner.
Helpful:
- OmegAvail Synergy TG -Gamma linolenic acid is a dietary omega-6 fatty acid found in many plant oil extracts. Some clinical evidence suggests that GLA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) enhance the effects of calcium supplementation for osteoporosis. Recommend 2 softgels twice daily. (Also helpful for fibromyalgia)
- Exercise can increase bone density at any age. It is an important treatment for osteoporosis to maintain healthy bones. Weight-bearing aerobic activities, involving the bones supporting body weight, have been shown to have a positive effect in maintaining and increasing bone mass and preventing osteoporosis. These activities include weight-lifting, jogging, hiking, stair-climbing, step aerobics, dancing, racquet sports, and other activities that require muscles to work against gravity. Swimming and simply walking, although good for cardiovascular fitness, are not the best exercises for building bone. Individuals who live a sedentary lifestyle have weaker bones and are subjected to a higher risk of sustaining fractures.
- Creatine (KreAlkalyn Pro by DFH) is an amino acid that is found in the muscles. Early studies examining the effect of creatine in aging suggest that creatine may increase bone density when combined with resistance training.
- PaleoGreens and PaleoReds, are a great way to get the nutrients from fruits and veggies if your diet is lacking, another advantage of these is they help keep the body more alkaline, which helps protect the bones.
Additional lifestyle factors include not smoking, no alcohol or limiting to no more than one glass a day, *maintaining a healthy body weight*: Being underweight is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Staying within a healthy weight for an individual is important. Extreme thinness is a risk factor for osteoporosis. Getting adequate sunlight, at least 15 minutes a day.
*Probiotic:*
- HLC Intensive is a good probiotic to start with to help colonize your intestinal tract with good microflora. Take 1 a day with a meal. After taking this for 1-2 months you could go with a maintenance probiotic.
