Osteoporosis is disease of the skeletal structure that weakens bones making them more likely to fracture or break. The bones become more porous and have a reduced density, which produces the fragility. The three type of osteoporosis are Type 1, Type 2, and secondary. Type 1 osteoporosis is known as post-menopausal osteoporosis and only affects women, the most common and starts at the age of 30. Type 2 is senile osteoporosis, which affects individuals over 75 and affects women and men 2:1. Osteoporosis can also be caused be medications such as corticosteroids, and this affects women and men equally. There are both hereditary and environmental factors that contribute to osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can get pretty bad without exercise, herbs, and proper vitamins/nutrition. In fact, it is often confused that some people fall and break their hip. Many times the hip actually breaks leading to the fall! 

Lifestyle changes that will reduce the risk of osteoporosis include quitting smoking, proper nutrition, moderate exercise, and reduced consumption of soft drinks. A combination of calcium and vitamin D also helps improve bone strength and bone density. Lastly, herbs have long standing research in helping to increase bone density.

Herbal remedies for osteoporosis include herbs that strengthen bones, increase calcium absorbtion, and benefit your skeletal system. Natural remedies of herbs for osteoporosis combined with calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D make for the most potent combination to provide long lasting bone density.
