A loss of bone density occurs naturally as we age, but it can occur earlier and with greater severity for women. Bone health supplements help to ensure you always have the nutrients you need. But despite their importance, it's easy to take bone health for granted. Unlike a sore throat, an upset stomach, or a twisted ankle, we usually will not feel it if our bones are in trouble.
There are two major conditions associated with bone loss, Osteoporosis and Osteopenia. Osteoporosis is a more severe case of bone loss that weakens the bones and makes them more likely to fracture. Osteoporosis is defined as “a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both, where Osteopenia, is a condition where people's bone density is lower than is usual for their age. Both conditions are varying degrees of bone loss, as measured by bone mineral density, a marker for how strong a bone is and the risk that it might break.
