Ashburn and Herndon Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are no fun. Fractures are painful. Fractures slow you down. Fractures are pricey in terms of time, money and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be prevented? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those who have osteoporosis. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn treats many Ashburn and Herndon osteoporotic patients and endorses preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients strong and healthy.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor is quite aware that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D feeds the 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 recent study of osteoporosis patients in the European Union and the United States shares a some startling pieces of data:
(A) greater 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) €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US could be saved. (1)
Those are some huge figures! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn 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
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is very confident 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 is where the type of vitamin D you take is important. Achieving and maintaining proper 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 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 higher rate of intestinal absorption.
