As people age, their bones naturally become thinner and more fragile, increasing the risk of developing osteoporosis. This is especially true for women going through menopause, a phase marked by a significant drop in estrogen and progesterone levels.
After menopause, a woman’s bones lose density more rapidly. The decrease in estrogen slows calcium absorption in the digestive system, making bones more vulnerable. Osteoporosis is officially diagnosed when bone mineral loss reaches between 30% and 50%.
Natural Support for Osteoporosis
Several natural remedies can help slow the aging of bones and support their strength. These options offer nutritional value, anti-inflammatory benefits, and hormone-like effects without synthetic medications.
Sea Buckthorn Oil
This oil is a powerful source of antioxidants such as beta-carotene, polyphenols, and vitamin E, along with vitamins D, F, and K.
It also contains calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats like gamma-linoleic acid, all of which help combat inflammation and aging.
Horsetail Tincture or Tea
Horsetail is a silica-rich plant known to support bone strength. Studies show that horsetail extract (used alone or with calcium) can help boost bone density.
Herbalists like Dr. John Ray Christopher believed that the silica in horsetail converts into calcium in the body.
