About Osteoporosis
and Osteopenia
Approximately 10 million people in the United States suffer
from osteoporosis and some 18 million adults
have low bone mass, or osteopenia. This number
is expected to grow as the average age of our general population
increases. Fragile and thinning bones have cost the health
industry billons of dollars annually, mainly due to the bone
fractures which arise as a result of one having osteoporosis.
That being said, it is readily apparent that precautionary
measures are not taken seriously, or applied early enough
in life to thwart the progression and onset of this condition.
Although the fortification (or addition)
of calcium to commonly consumed goods is on the rise, doctors
continue to emphasize the fact that researchers have yet to
compile a complete set of risk factors that
are universal for every age demographic.
What we do know is that prevention begins
in the first three decades of life with the administration
of proper diet and regular exercise, and continues throughout
the remainder of our adult lives. However, adequate intakes
of calcium are assuredly lacking in the growing populous
as childhood obesity rates continue to soar and physical activity
declines. This further underlines the importance of nutritional
supplementation in all ages, as a means to
prevent the occurrence and progression of
this disease once an individual is diagnosed.
Although the best sources of calcium are found in calcium-containing
foods, the majority of individuals do not obtain
a sufficient amount from diet. Exoprin can bridge this gap;
ensuring that the body's calcium needs are
met, while affording the benefit of other key nutrients equally
important for bone health.
Osteoporosis, Defined:
Osteoporosis (porous bone) is classified as a bone
disease. It is characterized by both a low bone mass
and a structural deterioration of boney tissues located throughout
the body. The condition is marked by an abnormality
in the bone remodeling process. During remodeling, old bone
is removed (resorption) and new bone is being added to the
skeleton (formation). It is an ongoing process which occurs
throughout each of our lifetimes. Osteoporosis develops when
bone resorption is too sudden, or if new
bone cannot keep up with the demands needed to replace
bone that has been removed.
Contrary to the popular belief that bone is as hard as a
rock, bone is in fact, a living, growing tissue.
It is the combination of collagen and calcium
that makes bones strong, flexible, and able to withstand stress.
However, osteoporosis sufferers lack this rigidity,
leading to bone fragility and an increased susceptibility
to fractures; most notably of the spine,
hip, rib, and wrist regions.
Signs and Symptoms of Osteoporosis:
Unfortunately, osteoporosis is usually not diagnosed
as individuals with osteopenia and osteoporosis present very
few symptoms. Definitive diagnosis usually occurs
when the disease is in an advanced stage or when a fracture
occurs at one of the locations shown above. However, this
is not to say that signs and symptoms are totally
absent. They may manifest as persistent aches and
pains, or can present a more severe skeletal abnormality,
such as loss in height. This is especially
common in women as the bones of the spine (vertebrae) can
begin to collapse and cause a 'stoop' in
posture. This spine deformity is known as a dowager's
hump (i.e. hunchback). Other classic signs and symptoms
include;
Cramps in the lower extremities; especially at night
Nagging bone pain and tenderness
Neck pain or discomfort
Persistent pain in the abdomen or spine and muscles of the
lower back
Tooth loss
Brittle Fingernails
Periodontal disease
Chronic fatigue
Rib pain
Are you at risk?
Men: About twenty percent of all men will
be affected by osteoporosis. About 7 percent of non-Hispanic,
white, and Asian men, aged 50 and older, will develop osteoporosis.
However, thirty-five percent of this demographic is said to
suffer from low bone mass (osteopenia). Four percent of non-hispanic,
black men (also >50) will have osteoporosis and nineteen
percent will suffer from low bone density.
As well, three percent of hispanic men are currently thought
to have arthritis, with twenty-three percent suffering from
osteopenia.
Women: Being female greatly enhances
the risk and incidence of this disease. Women account
for approximately eighty percent of all cases
diagnosed. What's more, 45.3% of all women, regardless of
ethnicity, currently have or will develop osteopenia. This
may prove even more significant in both African-American and
Caucasian women, as osteoporosis is commonly under-diagnosed
in these two races.
Women lose up to twenty percent of all bone mass in the 5-7
years following menopause. Not only making them more
susceptible to osteoporosis, but also increasing
the prevalence of fractures over the opposite
sex (50% of women vs. 25% of men). Over 1 1/2 million fractures
occur annually and adversely impact the quality and activity
of life in those (primarily) fifty years of age or older.
Other factors increasing the likelihood of developing this
"silent disease" include:
Being female
Current or past cigarette smoking
Excessive alcohol consumption
Inactive lifestyle
Low testosterone levels in men, estrogen deficiency in females
Underlying medical conditions
Certain medications
Inadequate calcium intake throughout life
Eating disorders
Age (over age 50)
Past fractures
Current low bone mass
Being thin, or being small framed
Family history
Abnormal, or absence of, menstruation
How Exoprin can help you
Exoprin deposits the lacking bone-building nutrients
back into Your body; helping you to reduce the risk of osteoporosis
onset, while managing the many adverse symptoms associated
with the disease.
The preservation of bone mineral density remains
the primary goal of osteoporosis treatments.
This is done to provide a reduction in both the symptoms and
risk of pathologic fractures. Once the disease has been accurately
diagnosed, the implementation of weight-bearing exercises,
proper diet, and vitamin/mineral supplementation is often
suggested as the initial treatment protocol
for standard medical treatments.
However, some physicians may also warrant to use prescription
medications as a means for bone mass preservation. These medications
respond differently with each individual. In addition
to the inconsistencies in personal efficacy,
as with all medications, the potential for side effect is
always a great concern.
Exoprin also targets disease prevention
and disease management. However, because it is
all-natural, side effects that can accompany
popular prescription medications designed
for osteoporosis treatment are eliminated.
Exoprin's osteoporosis formula has been formulated for those
who are at an elevated risk of developing the disease, or
who need immediate nutritional support for
an existing bone condition. Exoprin is a potent, combination
product that includes clinically evaluated nutrients, including:
Vitamins K and D
Calcium
Key minerals (magnesium, manganese, boron, and zinc)
A unique blend of soy isoflavones and ipriflavones
Studies suggest that the administration of such nutrients
may work to suppress bone resorption, promote
musculoskeletal stability, and increse bone mineral
density. Exoprin can be your means in preventing further bone
loss and to ensure the current health of
your skeletal system.
