When it comes to the debilitating disease, osteoporosis (porous bones), many individuals are advised to take vitamin D and high doses of calcium. As one who had to diagnose issues with commercial aircraft avionics and ground based radar systems, I was trained to consider every link in the chain. With this in mind let us consider a few additional links in the chain for bone health.
- Magnesium activates vitamin D to absorb calcium. It is also one of the building blocks for bone structure and density.
- Vitamin D gives you the ability to absorb large amounts of calcium.
- Calcium is a core building block for bones, teeth, and other tissues.
- Vitamin K2 activates proteins that bind calcium to your bones, and protects your arteries from hardening due to calcium buildup.
- Potassium is directly associated with bone mineral density, yet most people consume less than half of their daily requirement. You need roughly 4000 mg every day. If you drink a lot of water and/or exercise intensely, you need even more (low sodium V8 and coconut water are packed with potassium).
- Zinc has a restorative effect on bone loss and increases bone mass.
- Taurine enhances bone tissue formation and retards bone loss.
Give your body the raw materials it needs to keep you healthy and strong for decades to come.
