Toronto Osteoporosis & Fracture Prevention with Calcium and Vitamin D
Fractures are disruptive. Fractures are painful. Fractures keep you from doing what you want to do. Fractures are costly in not only in terms of money but also time and suffering. How can osteoporotic fractures be prevented? Calcium and vitamin D supplementation for those with osteoporosis. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre cares for many Toronto osteoporotic patients and recommends preventive measures like nutritional taking supplements to deter osteoporotic fractures and keep our Toronto chiropractic patients strong and fit.
SUPPLEMENTATION SAVES SUFFERING AND MONEY FOR FRACTURES
Your Toronto chiropractor knows well that supplementing with calcium and vitamin D supports the health of bones and helps them be strong. This feeding and strengthening preferably should begin 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) more than 500,000 fractures a year in the EU and 300,000 in the US could be prevented if every adult with osteoporosis in the EU and US used calcium and vitamin D and
(B) lots of money could be saved: €5.7 billion in the EU and $3.3 billion in the US. (1)
Those are some enormous figures! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre surely urges support of this effort to save money and, more importantly, suffering by supplementing with calcium and vitamin D3.
THE PROPER TYPE OF SUPPLEMENT IS KEY
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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’s where the form 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 around the world. Why? Absorption. Absorption may be hindered in conditions like obesity in which nutrients get stuck in the adipose tissue, in diseases that are known for decreased intestinal absorption, and with some neurological diseases that need special drugs that predispose the person’s system to not synthesize the calcifediol successfully. 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.
