VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND FRACTURE RISK
The more the better? Not really
when it comes to multiple vitamin deficiencies! A recent
study told that the cumulative effect of vitamin deficiencies
intensified the risk of incident fractures in
postmenopausal women. Vitamin D, vitamin K and vitamin B levels were taken
in women over 50 years old and followed for 6.3 years
(plus or minus 5.1 years). 29.7% of these women experienced fractures
during this time. The total of deficiencies
(0/no deficiencies to 3/deficient in D, K and B) was significantly associated with fracture risk. (1) In light of this report, Novelli Wellness Center notices that it’s important to check for vitamin deficiencies

WHAT TO DO TO IMPROVE VITAMIN DEFICIENCIES AND PREVENT
Orchard Park, NY FRACTURES
Novelli Wellness Center notes that the risk of fragility
fractures is greater than the risk of breast cancer for postmenopausal
women. One in 3 are at risk. Luckily, Orchard Park, NY
fracture risk may well be controlled by healthy
lifestyle changes like vitamin supplementation, weight-bearing
exercise, limited alcohol intake and not smoking. Vitamin
supplementation including at least 1000 mg/day of calcium,
800 IU/day of vitamin D, and 1 gram/kilogram of body weight of protein in women
over 50 is recommended. (2) Vitamin D with calcium supplementation
reduces the risk of total fractures by 15% and hip fractures by
30%, specifically. (3) Oral vitamin K supplementation (phytonadione and menaquinone-4)
reduced bone loss. Menaquinone-4 had
the strongest impact on vertebral fracture reduction. (4) And while
supplementing with vitamin B alone did not
demonstrate a significant impact on osteoporotic fracture
incidence in patients with cerebrovascular disease, it did show
a modest effect. (5) Patients with very high plasma homocysteine
levels and vascular disease seemed to benefit more from vitamin
B supplementation (folate, B6, and B12) to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Vitamin
B effectively modifies HCy levels considered
to have a role in osteoporotic fracture and bone turnover. (6) Novelli Wellness Center considers
all sorts of factors when directing patients in
nutritional supplementation.
