Bone support

Have you ever stopped to think how many bones we have? You may not know the exact figure, but there is something you should be clear about: proper bone maintenance is essential to maintain a good quality of life for as long as possible, preventing disorders of the bone system such as osteoporosis.

By following a healthy diet and habits, and with the help of vitamin and mineral supplements, you can enjoy stronger and healthier bones longer.

How many bones has the human body?

The human body has 206 bones, the largest is the femur and the smallest is the abutment of the ear. Bones begin to form in the first months of life and stop growing between 14-20 years. Starting at age 30, they begin to lose calcium, which makes the bone system more fragile and increases the risk of fractures.

To prevent osteoporosis and other bone ailments, it is important to take foods with calcium (such as milk or yogurt), as well as foods rich in vitamin D, essential for the assimilation of calcium, such as fish, eggs or mushrooms. Frequent and moderate sun exposure is also key, because it activates the production of vitamin D.

Supplements for bone care

In addition to following a diet and a healthy lifestyle, we can take natural products to strengthen bones, such as vitamin and mineral supplements.

Vitamin D supplements improve the assimilation of calcium from food, while vitamin K helps calcium to properly integrate into the bone system. As for minerals, magnesium is recommended due to its ability to strengthen the strength of the bones, while zinc helps its regeneration.
