DID YOU KNOW THAT CALCIUM FROM FRUIT AND VEGETABLES IS MUCH MORE BIO-Available THAN from MILK?

Calcium deficiency is rarely the actual cause of osteoporosis. Because we don't test for it - mineral-balance intracellularly - we always just get a standard calcium supplement along with bisphosphonates when we get an osteoporosis diagnosis from the doctor.

BONE CONSISTS OF MANY MINERALS APART FROM CALCIUM, SUCH AS MANGANESE, ZINC, BORON, MAGNESIUM, PHOSPHOR, SILICA.

In addition, research shows that certain amino acids such as lysine and l-arginine, trigger bone formation and that fish oil can be helpful in preventing bone loss if one's fatty acid balance is skewed.

AND DID YOU KNOW THAT HEAVY METALS LIKE LEAD IS LINKED TO BONE LOSS?

We are exposed to lead via our drinking water as it is found in many old water pipes - and men are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning through typical “men’s jobs” where lead welding may be involved etc That is why we are investigating for these things.
