There is a growing medical crisis in the United States that can affect anyone. One in seven people have osteoporosis, costing $20 billion to the US economy each year. This rate is going up as the population of the US ages. It also does not include osteopenia, which also can lead to an increase in bone fractures and their severity.

We've all had broken bones, so what is the big deal? As we age, these breaks can require lengthy rehab, hospital care, or lead to death. In fact, 40% of those who suffer a major break after the age of 80 die within one year. That statistic is 20% for those over 70. FYI, the average life expectancy for someone in the U.S. is 78. 

With all that on the line, and past problems with drug therapies, you would think the FDA would inspect the information for clinical testing of new therapies more seriously. Nope.

I submit that if your therapy has worse side effects than the disease it is treating, you may want to change things up. There are several new supplements that have clinical studies showing bone density improvement with their use. Among those I like Bone StrengthTake Care  and The Grow Bone System from The Garden of Life.  Both of these products are safe and support bone density.
