Do You Know the Warning Signs of Osteoporosis?
Unfortunately, there are none...
Accelerated bone loss affects more than 44 million Americans 50 years of
age and older. 80% of them are women. But men, younger women, and
otherwise healthy, active individuals can also experience the dangerous
thinning and weakening of bones known as osteoporosis.
Bone loss doesn’t have any outward symptoms until it’s severe. This in-home test kit is an easy way to measure the rate of bone loss. If you know you’re losing bone, you can take steps to prevent it!
Are you building or deplelting bone?
 Bone Density = Formation - Resorption
 Bone is a very active tissue undergoing constant “remodeling,” a process
of formation and resorption (breakdown). Osteoporosis, a loss of bone
density, occurs when the resorption rate is greater than the rate of
formation of new bone. Since bone formation is difficult to assess, it is
important to identify if you are among the men and women with rapid
bone breakdown. If you are, you have the greatest risk for osteoporosis.
On a positive note, you are also among the group who can benefit most
from preventive therapies.
Fortunately, there is a test that can show if you are at risk.
A series of bone scans can be expensive and can only indicate changes in
your bones over a six to twelve month period. They do not show your
current bone activity. The Bone Resorption Assay detects
biochemical markers which reflect present remodeling activity. This test
is simple and cost-effective, allowing you to routinely monitor bone
resorption rates and the effectiveness of therapy. Repeated measurements
will allow you to monitor the effectiveness of
your therapeutic interventions so you can achieve the most benefit in the
shortest time.
“Osteoporosis is a major public threat for an
estimated 44 million Americans. In the US today, 10 million
(8 million being women and 2 million being men) individuals are
estimated to already have the disease and almost
34 million more are estimated to have low bone mass,
placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis.”
- National Osteoporosis Foundation
 People at risk for and conditions associated
with rapid bone loss:
- Men and women over 50
- Perimenopausal and postmenopausal
women
- Women recently pregnant or nursing
- Slender, small-framed women
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Tobacco users
- Heavy alcohol consumers (particularly men)
- Men and women with lactose intolerance or
dairy allergy
- Family history of osteoporosis
- Race, particularly Caucasian or
southeast Asian descent
- Overactive thryroid
- Depression
- Selected medications
- Hysterectomy
- Stress
- Low vitamin D and calcium
- Weak digestion
- History of dieting
- Irregular periods
This is a new, simple and cost-effective urine test sent
straight to your home to identify accelerated bone resorption. The
Bone Resorption Assay detects biochemical markers which reflect
present remodeling activity. It is important to find out if you have rapid
bone resorption (accelerated loss of bone). If you do, you are at greatest
risk for osteoporosis and will benefit most from therapeutic intervention.
