63 yo female presents with 8 year history of osteoporosis
Scott Banks, DC
Nutritional support in osteoporosis involves 3 areas: dietary recommendations, raw material nutrients and osteo-inductive nutrients. Bone loss is driven by inflammation, and an anti-inflammatory Mediterranean style diet helps to prevent diet driven inflammation. Osteo-inductive flavonoids including berberine, curcumin, icariin and fisetin inhibit the osteoclasts that drive bone loss and stimulate osteoblasts which drive bone production. The raw material nutrients including Vitamins D3, K2 and minerals are needed by osteoblasts for bone production.
