Loss of Bone Mass Density
Dexa Scan T-score -1.0 to -2.5 is Osteopenia
T-score less than -2.5 is Osteoporosis
Bone is 40-50% inorganic component (hydroxyapatite), 10-15% water and 35% organic component(protein). 90% of the organic component is collagen Type 1 and the remaining 10% non-collagenous proteins
- Osteoblasts-formation of bone, secrete alkaline phosphatase to create sites for calcium and phosphate deposition.
- Osteoclasts-bone resorption, secretes acid phosphatase which unfixes the calcium
- Osteocytes are osteoblasts which are responsible for homeostasis of oxygen and mineral levels.
Function: Supports the body, protects the organs, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and fats.
- Collagen, the protein that gives bones a framework for strength and flexibility
- Calcium-phosphate mineral complexes, that fill in the gaps between the collagen frame work, making bones hard and strong
- Living bone cells that remove and replace weakened sections of bone
KoACT-Calcium collagen chelate
Animal Study-8 weeks
4 groups
No supplement
KoACT-increased bone density by 3.5%
10x KoACT-increased bone strength by 10%
Calcium and Collagen supplement increase bone strength by 1%
Study
39 women
2 groups-12 months Post-menopausal women.
5 g of CC(calcium-collagen chelate) which contains 500 mg of elemental calcium and 200 IU Vitamin D
500 mg of calcium and 200 IU of Vitamin D
The loss of whole body BMD in women taking CC was substantially lower than that of the control group at twelve months
KoACT improves bone synthesis and reduces bone loss
- KoACT counteracts the natural process of bone loss in post-menopausal women
- KoACT improves bone mineral density
- KoACT improves bone mineral density better than calcium in post-menopausal women
- KoACT improves total body bone mineral density significantly better than calcium in just three months
- Biomarkers for bone formation were increased significantly with KoACT
- KoACT improves biomarkers for bone formation, better than calcium.
- KoACT improves bone strength significantly better than calcium in animals
Peak bone mass is around 30 years old. Losing 2-3% a year thereafter. 20% of hip fracture patients will pass away within a year.
1 out of 3 post menopausal women will fracture a bone
Osteoporosis drugs (Bisphosphonate) slows down osteoclast activity. Increase risk of jaw necrosis and atypical femoral fractures. After 3 years of use the suggest a "Drug Holiday"
Lifestyle:
Lack of physical activity
Excessive exercise
Inflammation
Smoking
Alcohol
Medication
Family history
Vitamin and nutrient deficiency
Gluten
Eliminate excess sugar, cigarette smoke and phosphoric acid-containing soda.
Be sure your intake of calcium and magnesium is in the 700-1000 mg range of each daily.
Other trace minerals, boron, manganese, chromium, copper, zinc, silicon...animal food
Weight bearing activity
Post-menopausal women make consider bioidentical hormone replacement.
Mediterranean diet with increase protein intake.
Vegetarian and vegan diets and risks of total and site-specific fractures increases significantly.
Exercise:
Weight bearing resistance exercise is best
Vibration-10 minutes per day 2-3x per day (check with your medical professional first)
Muscle-vibration 20-50 hz
Exercise inhibits bone loss, frequency matters
