Throughout life, osteoblasts construct bone matrix and fill it with calcium.
However, this simplified approach may not be fully accurate. Because you asked to use only b, u, i, ul, li and headings, I am providing a minimal restructuring that preserves the content without styling. If you need a version with p tags, I can adjust.
- Osteoclasts also work to tear down and resorb bone. This balance is regulated by systemic hormones and cytokines.
- Bone mass reaches its peak by the middle of the third decade of life and plateaus for about ten years, during which time bone turnover is constant, with bone formation approximately equal to bone resorption.
As our bodies age
- The fine balance is lost as relative hormone levels shift in midlife — more drastically in women than in men — and osteoclasts gain the upper hand, causing bone mass to dwindle.
- Some bone is already lost by menopause, and the rate of loss can increase up to tenfold during the first five years after menopause.
Bone density and nutrition
- Bone density loss is not only due to calcium deficiency but also insufficient intake of other nutrients, including magnesium and vitamin D3.
- To help maintain healthy bones, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and other nutrients should be available so calcium and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. Some forms of calcium are not well absorbed.
Aging and magnesium
- Loss of bone mineral density can affect both women and aging men.
- Magnesium deficits can occur in both genders; some formulations may contain magnesium to support bone health and vascular health.
- Magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions essential for health.
Bone Restore formula
- Life Extension offers a mineral formula called Bone Restore designed to support healthy bone density and strength.
- Bone Restore provides 700 mg of elemental calcium from multiple forms, along with magnesium, boron, zinc, silicon, manganese, and vitamin D3.
- The boron in this formula is FruiteX B OsteoBoron, a calcium/carbohydrate/boron complex that is more bioavailable than boron citrate.
Other notes
- Calcium should be consumed with meals and a full glass of water or other liquid to aid absorption. If taken once daily, evening administration may be best.
- Calcium absorption can be influenced by interactions with iron and other factors; current understanding suggests inhibition may be short-term.
- Supplements may be accompanied by other ingredients; always follow product directions and consult with a physician if you are undergoing treatment or are pregnant or lactating.
