Auburn Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are no fun. Fractures hurt. Fractures slow you down. Fractures are pricey in terms of time, money and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be averted? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those who have osteoporosis. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. treats many Auburn osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional supplementation to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Auburn chiropractic patients strong and in good shape.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Auburn chiropractor knows well that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D feeds the bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening ideally should start in the teen years, but supplementing at any age is beneficial. A recent study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States reveals a some startling statistics:
(A) greater than 500,000 fractures a year in the European Union and 300,000 in the United States could be prevented if every adult with osteoporosis 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! Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. certainly encourages backing this effort to save money and, more importantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is very confident that if you are making 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 is where the type of vitamin D you choose is important. Attaining and maintaining 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 delayed in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get trapped in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are recognized for reduced intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that require special drugs that predispose the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol effectively. The recommendation in this recent 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.
