Calcium is often thought of as the key mineral for the prevention of age-related ailments, but calcium alone is not enough for strong bones. Of course, it plays a role in maintaining bone structure, but its effectiveness is enhanced tenfold when combined with other vitamins that form the "bone triangle": vitamin K (K2 in particular) and vitamin D.

The role of calcium in maintaining bone structure

 

In proportion, the calcium is the the most widely distributed mineral in the body. It's a building block of bone, and essential for cell division and specialization. 99% of the human body's calcium is contained in bones and teeth.

 

Visit aging causes a progressive bone loss, , aggravated by menopause in women. In short, the density bone mineral reduced, this creates risk factors for fractures in particular. It would therefore seem logical to supplement the body with calcium in order to compensate for the consequences of ageing and prevent fractures... however, a calcium-based dietary supplement is not enough to guarantee optimal bone health.

 

Vitamin K, an ally for bone health

 

Visit vitamin K plays a role in the blood coagulation and in the bone metabolism (the binding of calcium to bones). The vitamin K1, responsible for coagulation, comes from the greens (cabbage, spinach, lettuce), and vegetable oils (olive, soy or hemp oil). The vitamin K2, an essential part of the skeletal calcification, is the result of fermentation : cheese, , miso (Japanese fermented soybean paste), natto (fermented soybeans traditional to Japanese cuisine). The egg yolk, the butter, the liver, and the fish are also sources.

 

Since 1960, supplementation with vitamin K is used for treating osteoporosis in Japan. Several Recent studies underline the fact that vitamin K contributes to the maintaining good bone health for aging people with weakened skeletons.

 

A vitamin K2 deficiency is associated with an increased risk of fractures. Some studies also point out that vitamin D may synergize with the effect of vitamin K on bone. The interaction of the two molecules would therefore be essential to multiply their effectiveness in bone health.

 

The many benefits of vitamin D

 

Visit vitamin D plays an essential role in the maintaining the quality of bone and muscle tissue and in the boosting the immune system. With age, the the body's ability to absorb and synthesize it decreases vitamin D deficiency is therefore correlated with osteoporosis.

 

L'Anses (Agence nationale de la sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail) underlines the importance of a adequate vitamin D intake for theentire population but in particular for certain more vulnerable groups, especially if they lack it (e.g. because of insufficient exposure to sunlight)

 

In addition to exposure to the sun many foods contain vitamin D such as oily fish (sardines or salmon, for example) mushrooms, the dairy products, the egg yolk, the butter, the dark chocolate, some cereals. .

 

Visit health benefits from vitamin D-rich food supplements are substantial, since they enable meet the body's needs that, after a certain age, not even a balanced diet and outdoor activities can achieve.

 

From Studies emphasize its role in theefficient calcium absorption without an adequate intake of vitamin D, the body would absorb no more than 10-15% of the calcium it consumes. When the body's vitamin D requirements are met, absorption rises to 30-40%.

 

Bone capital: a complete food supplement

 

That's why Laboratoire Pronatur has formulated a dietary supplement dedicated to strengthening and preserving bone structure Based calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K, as well as antioxidants.

In a nutshell:

 

●     Visit calcium is essential to maintenance of normal bone structure.

●     Visit vitamin K contributes to skeletal calcification.

●     Visit vitamin D regulates calcium binding to bones and helps reduce the risk of fracture associated with postural instability and muscular weakness in the over-60s. 

 

In addition to these ingredients, the enzyme SOD, extracted from melons from the south of France, the "youth molecule" that acts on all the body's cells to protect against oxidative stress.

 

Visit maintaining a solid framework is a a crucial health issue, especially as we age. Although the calcium is often considered to be the key mineral for healthy bones, its efficacy is considerably enhanced when combined with vitamins K and D. Take the adapted food supplement in a spa treatment prevent fractures but also becomes a means of maintain mobility, his independence and its long-term quality of life.
