Natural Supplements for Bone Health







Your bones have cells called osteoclasts. Their job is to remove old bone tissue. This allows the bone to grow strong because other cells called osteoblasts then rebuild the bone. With osteoporosis and other bone diseases, there is an imbalance … either your osteoblasts aren’t making new cells fast enough, or osteoclasts are removing too much tissue. So drug companies came up with a way to stop osteoclasts from removing the old tissue, which also artificially increases your bone density: bisphosphonate drugs.

There are two problems with this.



What happens is that you take the medicine, the osteoclasts absorb it, and it poisons the osteoclast cells by cutting off their blood supply. The cells then either work very slowly or die. Because they don’t take away the old tissue, your bones become denser. But they’re dense with old tissue and the osteoblasts can’t make new tissue if the old tissue is still there.

After a while, the old-bone tissue becomes brittle and fragile, like glass, because it’s not as strong as the newer bone that would have formed without the drugs. So you end up with technically “dense” but weak bones that can fracture.


There are natural ways to increase your bone mineral density without any harmful side effects.

1. Vitamin D3 (calcifediol) is your number-one bone nutrient. Your body uses it in the process of making osteoclast and osteoblast cells. Sunshine as the best source of vitamin D. During the winter when you might not be able to get that much sun on your skin, you can:

  • Supplement: 3,000-5,000 IU of vitamin D3 per day.


3. Hormones are building blocks for strong bones.

    Hi guys, you are probably aware that this one hormone holds the key to turning the clock back on aging. This site’s HGH plus medicine has been shown to slow down, reduce or even stop the signs of aging, safely and powerfully. I can assure you this as I tried it myself. Before this, I could get the same effect by expensive prescription, and daily injections, both of which were expensive and painful. So, go through this site, and it will satisfy you surely.
