Ethical Nutrients Bone Builder with Vitamin D (60/120 tablets)

Description

Why Choose Bone Builder with Vitamin D?

At Happy Healthy Women we recommend Ethical Nutrient’s Bone Building powder which combines Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin K and Phosphorus.  This potent combination delivers a broad-spectrum bone health supplement. We recommend taking this supplement in powder form as powders are generally better absorbed than tablets. However some people much prefer a tablet, which is why we also offer this option.

About your bones:

Did you know that peak bone mass, or bone density, is reached at around the age of 30?   This peak bone mass is built through nutritional support (through diet and or supplementation) and weight bearing exercise from an early age. The more a child moves and participates in exercise activity, the more likely it is that they will reach an optimum peak bone mass.   From around the age of 35 onwards, your bone resorption begins to exceed bone formation. Bone density loss is usually around 0.3%-0.5% each year from this age onward.

Men generally have a higher peak bone mass than women, this is due to the fact that they generally have larger bones.   This means that men tend to be at a lower risk of Osteoporosis than women. Menopause, and its resulting reduction of estrogen, also may lead to loss of bone mass in women.

There are many factors with could promote your risk of developing Osteoporosis, these include:

– Genetics: if you have a history of Osteoporosis in your family your risk is increased.
– Being female.
– Being of Caucasian or Asian decent.
– A lack of exercise, calcium in your diet or Vitamin D (sun exposure and sometimes an inability to absorb Vitamin D).
– History of fracture as an adult.
– Smoking.
– Excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine.
– History of inflammation such Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn’s Disease.
– Low estrogen in women.
– Low testosterone in men.
– Amenorrhea (or loss of period) in young women due to excessive exercise or Anorexia Nervosa.
– Hyperthyroidism or Hyperparathyroidism.

The good news is that you can help promote bone density through various means:

– Include Bone Builder with Vitamin D powder in your daily supplement intake. From the age of 40 supplementing for reduced bone loss is considered essential by many health professionals.
– Undertake weight bearing exercise for at least 30 mins, 3-5 times a week.
– If you smoke, you must stop.
– Consume Alcohol moderately.
– Try to get some form of sunlight daily.
