Osteoporosis is a condition where Bones become porous, brittle and less dense as a result of a loss of Bone mass. Bone loss accelerates to 3% – 5% per year for approximately five years, after which Bone loss continues at the rate of approximately 1.5% per year. Most often People with osteoporosis breaks their bones in the area like hip, forearm, wrist, and spine. While most broken bones are caused by falls, osteoporosis can weaken bones to the point that a break can occur more easily. As you get older, you are more likely to have osteoporosis and recovering from a broken bone becomes harder. Broken bones can have lasting effects including pain that does not go away. Osteoporosis can cause the bones in the spine to break and begin to collapse, so that some people with it get shorter and are not able to stand up straight. Broken hips are very serious can cause many other health issue. 33% of females and 15% of males experience a Hip Fracture by the age of 90 (Hip Fractures almost always occur as a result of Osteoporosis). post-Menopausal women have the highest incidence of Osteoporosis(due to female bioavailability of Calcium decreasing after the Menopause and also due to Calcium being “leached” from the Bones of females during Pregnancy and Lactation). 25% – 30% of white and oriental women; and 20% of black women; develop Osteoporosis.

Who is more prone to osteoporosis
1- Menopause females 33% and males 15% and osteoporosis 4 times as likely in women than men.
2- Hereditary can be element to the risk of developing osteoporosis
3- malnutrition and malabsorption person have high risk of developing osteoporosis
4- underweight person have a high risk of developing osteoporosis

What substance can increase the risk of Osteoporosis
1- Homocysteine; Homocysteine interferes with optimal Collagen Cross-linking, resulting in impaired structure of the Bone matrix).
2- Caffeine; Excessive consumption of caffeine may increase the risk of Osteoporosis proses.
3- Cortisol; Excessive production of Cortisol may cause Osteoporosis
4- Exogenous (LHRH); Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone should not be used longer than six months that may increase the risk of Osteoporosis.
5- Excessive activity of immune system
6- Saturated fatty acid;
7- Exposure to excessive minral;
* Aluminium
* Fluoride
* phosphorus (carbenated drink)
* sodium.
8- Pharmaceutical Drugs;
* antiacid
* Proton pump inhibitors
* Glucocorticosteroids
* Prednisone
* Diuretics
* Laxatives
9- Recreational Drugs
* Alcohol
* Tabacco
10- Inflammation
11- Free radicals
12- Endurance exercise (triathletes)
13- Crohn’s Disease
14- insufficient production of Hydrochloric acid (Hypochlohydria)
15- Ulcerative Colitis
16-Hypothyroidism

Substances may Alleviate/Prevent Osteoporosis

Hormones

1-Estrogen
2- Estriol
3- Estrone
4- Progestrone; Progesterone deficiency may be a major cause of Osteoporosisand clinical studies have shown that supplemental Progesterone may increase bone mass density (BMD) by 7% after 1 year of supplementation, by 12% after two years, and by 15% after three years. Women administered supplemental Progesterone up to the age of 80 following Menopause often exhibit strong Bones without evidence of Bone loss while continuing to use natural Progesterone.
5- HGH
6- Pregnenolone
7- Testosterone
8- Omega-3 fatty acids
9- Calcium
10- Magnesium
11- Manganese
12- Silicon
13- Potassium
14- Folic acid as metafolate
15- B12
16- Vit C
17- Vit D3
18- Vit K2, K7
19- Black Cohosh
20- Exercise; Regularly 2-5 times a week
