Preserving Bone Mass

Bone mass represents the total amount of healthy bone acquired by a person at the end of their growth. It comprises two phases:

• Modeling corresponds to the acquisition of the shape and quantity of bones during childhood and adolescence,
• Remodeling allows the adaptation of bone tissue to variations in mechanical stress, hormonal changes, or metabolic shifts during the rest of life.

Thus, bones are constantly adapting throughout our lives, which is why nothing is ever truly guaranteed: we must take care of our bone mass to maintain strong bones. There are several ways to influence the structure and density of our bones.

Tips for Strong Bones

Among the factors that can weaken our bones, some cannot be controlled (genetics, metabolic diseases, age, etc.), but others can be modified:

• A lack of physical activity reduces bone mass and weakens our bones. Regular physical activity helps to stimulate and strengthen the bones.
• Certain deficiencies can contribute to bone demineralization. Throughout life, it is recommended to have a sufficient intake of calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Dairy products are an excellent source of calcium and protein. Mineral waters are another source of calcium, as are salmon, sardines, cabbage, almonds, and so on. Vitamin D is essential for the intestinal absorption of calcium and for bone mineralization. It is found in oily fish, certain mushrooms, dark chocolate, meat, and more.
• To ensure ideal, easy, and quick supplementation of essential nutrients for bone health, nutraceutical specialists like Synergia develop specific dietary supplements for bones.
• Get plenty of sun, especially in winter, to boost your vitamin D levels! Vitamin D is primarily synthesized by the skin under the influence of the sun's ultraviolet rays.
• Limit the consumption of salt, alcohol, coffee and tobacco which promotes the loss of calcium in the urine and leads to bone demineralization.

The Synergia laboratory has developed food supplements for bones based on active ingredients recognized for their beneficial effect on bone health:

• Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation to ensure the normal function of bones and cartilage.
• Vitamins C and E, selenium, and zinc help protect cells against oxidative stress.
• Vitamins D and K, and zinc contribute to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Horsetail stimulates collagen synthesis and has a remineralizing effect; it thus contributes to the maintenance and balance of bone structure.
• Vitamin D contributes to normal blood calcium and phosphate levels.

The Synergia's bone supplement Bi-Ostéo, is a synergistic blend of vitamins D, K, and zinc that contribute to the maintenance of normal bones. Available in capsules, it provides a 1-month supply.
