Make Osteoporosis Matter
About 28 million people are at risk for
osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a “silent” condition because many Americans are unaware that their bone health is in jeopardy. Osteoporosis literally means “porous bone”. If left untreated, osteoporosis can progress without pain until a bone breaks.
If your doctor has told you that you have osteoporosis, a combination of ongoing prescription treatment, nutritional
supplements, and lifestyle changes including diet and exercise, can provide the strength your bones need to resist fracture as you age.
