What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition where there is mineral loss causing the bones to become fragile and porous. This condition is also known as "Brittle Bone Disease".
Osteoporosis treatment is often sought after the disease process has caused considerable damage. It is a painlessly disease that only becomes apparent when there is a significant fracture in the wrists, back area or hips. While any bone can be affected by osteoporosis, the spine and hips are particularly vulnerable.
When there is a fracture in the hip, hospitalization and surgery are always necessary. A fractured hip has a serious impact on the ability to walk, often causing permanent disability, and can even result in death. Statistics show that more women die as a result of osteoporotic fractures yearly than from both ovarian and breast cancer combined. Fractures in the spine area can also cause serious complications such as severe back pain, loss of height, and eventually deformity. Because of their thin and porous nature, even coughing or sneezing can result in a fracture of the spine. Osteoporosis treatment is sometimes controversial, as many medical treatments carry risks.
How Common Is Osteoporosis?
The frequency of osteoporosis and osteoporosis symptoms appear to be on the rise. Approximately one in eight men, and one in four women over the age of 50 suffer from this disease. Many women are affected by a less severe condition known as Osteopenia (bone thinning), which may eventually develop into osteoporosis.
What Are The Warning Signs And Symptoms Of Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis silently progresses over time, therefore the warning signs of osteoporosis also includes these risk factors:
- Recurrent bone fractures not attributed to an injury or accident
- Having an inactive lifestyle
- A diet lacking in calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus and magnesium
- Having a genetic predisposition
- Having had a hysterectomy with complete removal including the ovaries
- Having a small, thin build
- Excessive consumption of caffeine, alcohol, or carbonated beverages
- Overuse of anticonvulsants or thyroid medications
- Excessive dosages of anti-inflammatory steroids
- Hereditary history of fractures or osteoporosis
- Having an overactive thyroid gland
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Long-term smokers
- Having diabetes
- Post-menopausal women. The hormone estrogen, decreases after menopause, and is partially responsible for maintaining calcium in the bones.
Warning signs that require Osteoporosis treatment:
.
- Fractures in the hipbone, thigh bone (femur) or arm bone which are unexplained
- Fractures, which occur following a relatively slight fall or bump
- Having sharp pains in the mid and lower back with no apparent cause
- A gradual reduction in height
How Osteoporosis Progresses And The Causes of Osteoporosis
.
People develop the volume of their bone mass in their teens into their early twenties, and will maintain this mass throughout their life into old age. Throughout life, the bones provide the “reserve” of calcium.” When there is an inadequate reserve of calcium in the diet, calcium is literally seeped from the bones. Bones can effectively absorb high levels of dietary calcium. Regular activity is particularly beneficial in the absorption of calcium. Inactivity deters the necessary absorption of calcium. When muscles are put under stress, the bones support the muscles by increasing in strength and mass. A calcium-enriched diet over one’s lifetime is the best possible osteoporosis prevention strategy, and should be an integral element of every osteoporosis treatment plan.
Individuals, who are susceptible to osteoporosis, have a higher level of calcium depletion from the bones than what is actually deposited; therefore the bones become brittle and porous resulting in serious fractures under stress or minor injury. This is one of the primary causes of osteoporosis. The symptoms of osteoporosis need to be promptly addressed and initiation of an osteoporosis treatment program is crucial.

Understanding Osteoporosis Medications, Osteoporosis Treatment And Osteoporosis Prevention
.
The two distinct phases of bone building consists of:
Bone formation. During the formation phase, cells known as osteoblasts rejuvenate the cavities with fresh bone tissue.
Bone resorption. During the resorption phase, unique cells known as osteoclasts on the surface of the bones dissolve the bone tissue and form small cavities.
Typically, bone formation and bone resorption remains balanced and work closely in conjunction with one another.
Osteoporosis treatment includes medications, which inhibit the activity of osteoclasts, and help restore any discrepancies. The inability of the body to do so is one of the main causes of osteoporosis.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can be beneficial in the reduction of bone loss and bone destruction in post-menopausal women, therefore assisting in osteoporosis prevention. Estrogen medications can be taken alone or in conjunction with progesterone. Some examples of estrogen drugs include:
Estrace®
Climara®
Estraderm®
Premarin®
Estratan®
Menest®
Ogen®
Prempro® and Premphase®: Combination estrogen/progesterone medications
Prescriptions are required for Estrogen.
.
Adverse effects of Hormone Replacement Therapy include:
- Migraine headaches
- Tenderness in the breasts
- Mood swings
- Return of menstrual cycle
- Gallstones
- Increased bloating
- Elevated risk of endometrial or breast cancer, when there is a genetic predisposition to these diseases
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a possible side effect especially for individuals with a prior history of irregular blood clotting
Bisphosphonates – Used for Osteoporosis Prevention and Osteoporosis Treatment
.
- Controls the activity of osteoclast cells
- Prevents the breakdown of bone
- Mostly given as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy
- Beneficial for osteoporosis resulting from steroids in certain medications
The most frequently prescribed bisphosphonates for osteoporosis treatment and osteoporosis prevention are risedronate (Actonel®), alendronate (Fosamax®) and etidronate (Didr ocal®)
It is uncommon for any side effects to occur, but some individuals may experience heartburn, nausea, abdominal pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, or slight irritation in the esophagusCalcitonin
.
- Calcitonin is natural hormone, which is produced by the body
- Increases bone mass by assisting the calcium levels in the blood
- Controls the activity of osteoclast
- Inhibits the loss of bone structure
- Alleviates the pain associated with spinal fractures
- Calcitonin is usually prescribed in higher doses than what the body naturally produces.
Calcimar® and Miacalcin® are the two primary calcitonin medications prescribed for osteoporosis treatment.
Injections of Calcitonin may cause side affects or an allergic reaction such as frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, flushing of the hands and face, and skin rash.
Unpleasant side affects of the nasal spray (Miacalcin®) can include headaches, runny nose, nosebleeds, and bone painSERMs
.
Special Estrogen Receptor Modulators or SERMs
- Reduces the rate that osteoclasts breaks down the bone by increasing bone density
- Research indicates that SERMs reduce the frequency of spinal fractures, but have not yet established whether SERMs can reduce the frequency of other fractures such as hip fractures
Most SERMs, such as Raloxifene (Evista®) are only prescribed for post- menopausal women. The side effects of this drug can include hot flashes, spotting, weight gain, cramping in the legs, muscle pain, swelling in the ankles, sinusitis, and an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
Osteoporosis Risk Factors & Wellness Tips
Preventing Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
.
White men and black females start losing calcium from the bones at around the age of 30. Astonishingly, white females start losing calcium at around the age of 18. A current study suggests that certain girls as young as 13 may begin to loose calcium from their bones. It is rare for black males to suffer from osteoporosis.
Ways to prevent osteoporosis, including a list of associated risk factors:
An inactive lifestyle. Physical activity is fundamental in maintaining and developing strong healthy bones. Try to include weight-bearing exercises such as walking, hiking, running, or weight training, as these exercises will help promote calcium absorption in the bones.
High caffeine intake. Caffeine and tea is a diuretic drug, which increases the frequency of urination and is associated with the loss of minerals and calcium. You can partially counteract this depletion by adding milk to tea and coffee.
Consuming carbonated beverages. Carbonated drinks contain phosphates, which can deplete calcium from the bones.
The use of certain drugs. Excessive use of anti-inflammatory steroids, high doses of anticonvulsive drugs or thyroid medications can also lead to bone loss.
Inadequate calcium in your diet. Adult women should take 1,200 mg of elemental calcium daily, and between 1,500 and 1,800 mg daily if you are pregnant or lactating. Post-menopausal women should take at least 1,500 mg of calcium per day. In order for calcium to be absorbed effectively, you should also include vitamin D and magnesium in your diet. There are many calcium supplements available that contain vitamin D and magnesium.
Menopause. Hormone levels decrease in post-menopausal women, which cause the loss of calcium in the bones. Estrogen helps maintain calcium in the bones. A hysterectomy, which is the removal of both the uterus and the ovaries, can also initiate calcium loss.
Having a fine bone structure. Caucasian women who have a small, thin build have a higher risk of developing osteoporosis.
.
Fall and injury prevention
.
Individuals who have osteoporosis should use caution to prevent falls since this can increase the risk of bone fractures in the wrists, hips, spine or other bones in the body.
Falls can also be precipitated by impairment of vision or balance, chronic diseases that disrupt physical or mental functions, including medications such as antidepressants and sedatives. It is also important to remember that certain medications do not mix well with alcohol and can cause loss of balance and dizziness. If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, it is important that you discussed any physical changes you are experiencing such as loss of hearing or vision, aches etc. with your healthcare provider, as these symptoms can directly affect your movement and balance.
Ways you can eliminate the environmental factors that may lead to falls:
Safety when indoors
.
- Keep floors and rooms free of clutter.
- Floor polish can be slippery and create a hazard, especially when they are wet. Always mop up any floor spills.
- Wear footwear with anti-skid soles, and avoid walking in stockings, socks or slippers.
- Wear low-healed shoes that offer support.
- Make sure that stairways are well lit and have handrails on both sides.
- Always use rubber bath mats in bathtubs and showers. Clean the bathtub often to remove any soap-scum buildup.
- Install grab-bars in bathrooms near showers, bathtubs, and toilets.
- Use a sturdy step stool with wide steps and a handrail when accessing hard to reach areas
- Always keep a flashlight at your bedside. Make sure the batteries are fully charged.
- Use a cordless phone so you won’t have to run when the phone rings. You can also carry it with you in case of a fall. Rushing can jeopardize your balance and can initiate a fall or injury.
- Make sure that carpets are securely fastened to the floor or purchase area rugs and carpets that have non-skid backing.
Safety when outdoors
- Use a walker or cane to assist with balance and provide stability.
- Wear ant-skid or rubber-soled footwear to improve traction.
- Use anti-slip carpet runners in slippery outside areas such as patios.
- During the winter, carrying salt or cat litter to sprinkle on icy sidewalks
- When the sidewalks are wet and slippery, try to walk on the grass instead.

Nutricol® - Mechanism Of Action
Nutricol® has significant fat and water soluble antioxidant properties, which produce anti-inflammatory and anti-catabolic effects:
Stabilizes collagen aldimine reducible cross-links, thus reinforcing the elasticity and strength of connective tissues like the tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, synovium, fascia, the dermis of the skin and the blood vessel walls.
Neutralizes catholic enzymes and ROS decreasing the damaging affects on both cellular and extra-cellular function and structures, thus enhancing membranes receptivity to growth factors such as somatomedins, thyroxin insulin, which is required for cell maintenance and anabolic repair.
Decreases excess production of catabolic substances such as elastase, collagenase, xanthine oxidase, hyaluronidase, NOS and TNF which are released from microbial, immune and damaged cells, which results in damage to epithelial and connective tissue, causing joint pain, capillary fragility, inflammation and additional soft-tissue damage.
Inhibits the release of inflammatory supporters such as serine proteases, histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins by non-competitively discouraging the release of inflammatory enzymes such as phosphodiesterase, lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase.
Enhances the protective epithelial mucosal surface integrity (respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary tract).
