Menopause Health News - Calcium and Vitamin D Prevent Bone Fractures and Remedy Insomnia

08-18-2011 09:24 AM CET | Health & Medicine

Press release from: Nutrition Breakthroughs

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, women can lose up to 20% of their bone mass in the five to seven years after menopause, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis and fractures. In a recent 2010 study from the British Medical Journal, it was confirmed that taking both calcium and vitamin D together on a daily basis significantly reduces the risk of bone fractures.

The research was based on a review of seven controlled trials including almost 70,000 people throughout the U.S. and Europe. These findings are important because this is one of the few studies to show that vitamin D alone does not reduce the risk of fracture.

John Robbins, a professor of internal medicine and co-author of the study says: "What is important about this very large study is that it goes a long way toward resolving conflicting evidence about the role of vitamin D, either alone or in combination with calcium, in reducing fractures."

The National Osteoporosis Foundation defines osteoporosis as porous bone; a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue. This can lead to fragile bones and an increased susceptibility to fractures, especially of the hip, spine and wrist, although any bone can be affected. The foundation estimates that 10 million Americans have osteoporosis, of which 80% are women and 20% men.

Regarding the use of calcium and vitamin D together, Robbins said: "This (recent) study supports a growing consensus that combined calcium and vitamin D is more effective than vitamin D alone in reducing a variety of fractures. Interestingly, this combination of supplements benefits both women and men of all ages, which is not something we fully expected to find.”

In addition to strengthening bones, recent research has also shown that calcium is an effective insomnia remedy, as well as being an agent to lower blood pressure, alleviate symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, and protect against colon cancer. More and more nutritional supplements are being formulated with calcium and vitamin D because of their wide array of benefits.

In order to avoid creating a magnesium deficiency by taking calcium without balancing it with magnesium, supplements should contain a 2 to 1 ratio of calcium to magnesium. The original research on this recommended ratio appeared in 1935 in the Journal of Physiological Reviews.

In addition, a softgel form is more digestible than tablets. Softgels that are formulated with carrier oils such as evening primrose have been shown to increase mineral absorption, reduce calcium excretion, and increase bone density. One formula that has these qualities and is gaining in popularity as an insomnia remedy is Sleep Minerals II from www.NutritionBreakthroughs.com.

Sleep Minerals II maximizes calcium absorption with six forms of calcium, three forms of magnesium, boron, Vitamin D, Vitamin K and horsetail herb – all combined in a softgel with carrier oils.

Lyn K. of Los Angeles, CA. says: "I’ve had chronic insomnia for some years now and had been taking other calcium products to help with my sleep. No other insomnia remedy has worked as effectively or consistently as Sleep Minerals II. I can count on it whenever I need help falling asleep at night or going back to sleep in the middle of the night. This is what sets it apart from the rest – it works reliably. It also eases my menopause symptoms, evens out my hormonal changes, and seems to put my body into a healthy balance."

The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends preventive measures for maintaining bone health, including getting the daily-recommended amounts of calcium and vitamin D, engaging in regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol.

Here’s to the health of your bones and your good sound sleep.
