CHAPTER 12

Probiotics for Strong Bones

A MICROSCOPIC VIEW OF THIS CHAPTER

• Bones are continually breaking down and rebuilding.

• Nutrients, like calcium, are required to keep bones healthy.

• Calcium in bones is used in muscle contractions and to balance blood pH.

• Probiotics promote proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.

• Vitamin K2, created by probiotics, supports bone growth.

• Prebiotics increase the absorption of bone-building nutrients.

Bones are the hardest part of your body. They are the scaffolding our muscles and organs cling too. Without bones we would be globs of tissue without the ability to run and jump. We all understand the great importance of our bones. As we age, the loss of bone integrity (low bone mass) can be debilitating, restricting our quality of life. Broken hips and backs leave many older adults reliant on wheelchairs and limited in their ability to move and function. Be good to your bones to ensure they are strong and stable for many years to come. Let’s be sure our healthy bones will support us in activities like playing golf and gardening when we retire.
