bonebalance™

Detailed Description

Currently the most prescribed medical treatment for low bone density is the administration of a class of drugs called Biphosphonates. They do not grow new bone matrix. What they do is slow down bone re-absorption. While these have their own long list of side effects (see below), they do increase bone density, but not its tensile strength. This has led to increased bone fragility, which is essentially what they are trying to correct. This is detailed in a new study from Imperial College, London.

This recent research shows that medication which just builds bone density (but not bone matrix) won’t protect you from fractures, as the bone formed can be brittle. The study was led by Imperial College London (https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/202974/hip-fracture-risk-linked-nanoscale-bone/) also highlighted a ‘preventative treatment gap’ in patients prone to bone fractures who are otherwise healthy.

The researchers say the bones of patients treated with Bisphosphonates for between 1-13 years may have fractured because the tissue was too inflexible and could not absorb energy during a bump or fall – and that this highlights the importance of flexibility in the collagen and minerals of bone, and not just bone mineral density.

Bisphosphonates cannot cause new bone matrix to be formed, which would be the ideal solution to the osteoporosis problem.

In addition, there is a specific regime for taking bisphosphonates, which patients may not find convenient.

Always take bisphosphonates on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Stand or sit upright for 30 minutes after taking them. You’ll also need to wait between 30 minutes and 2 hours before eating food or drinking any other fluids.

Bisphosphonates usually take 6 to 12 months to work, and you may need to take them for 5 years or longer.

You may also be prescribed calcium and vitamin D supplements to take at a different time to the bisphosphonate.

The main side effects associated with bisphosphonates include:

• irritation to the foodpipe
• swallowing problems
• stomach pain
• bone, joint or muscle pain
• nausea
• heartburn
• gastric ulcer

The particular way in which Bisphosphonates need to be taken, along with side effects mean that compliance and persistence in taking this type of medication is an issue for a large percentage of patients. About 70% of patients discontinue oral Bisphosphonates after 24 months.

While making bones more dense, Biphosphonates also paradoxically make bone brittle, and so more likely to fracture, a bit like glass. New bone matrix makes bones stronger and more flexible and less likely to fracture, which is what everyone is looking for.

So taking Bisphosphonates can actually increase the brittleness of bones, and make fractures more likely, not less likely.

bonebalance™ – the new way to grow strong new bone

There is a brand new clinically proven way to increase bone density as well as flexibility and fracture resistance (the 2018 clinical trial was a single-centre, prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study). 

bonebalance™ has three key benefits

Benefit 1 –  increases the number of bone building cells (osteoblasts). Osteoblasts are the cells that form new bone. They come from the bone marrow. Osteoblasts work in teams to build bone. They produce new bone called “osteoid” which is made of bone collagen and other protein. Then they control calcium and mineral deposition.

Benefit 2 – forms new bone matrix. The combination of increased osteoblasts and decreased osteoclasts, in conjunction with the Bioactive Collagen Peptides® in bonebalance™ enable the building of new bone matrix. Bone matrix is a composite material consisting of organic and inorganic components. The organic matrix makes up 20% of the net weight of bone and is comprised primarily of collagen. Collagen gives bone its flexibility – unlike the minerals often prescribed that make bones dense but stiff and brittle. This means that bones are more flexible and fracture resistant.

Benefit 3 – has ZERO side effects and is easy to take. This speaks for itself – bonebalance™ has no side-effects.  It’s 100% natural, a food by definition and both quick and easy to take. No crazy regime needed to take bonebalance™, just mix with hot or cold drinks or smoothies.

Taking bonebalance™ everyday is an easy way to boost your bone health, with absolutely no side effects or contra-indications.
