LOVE YOUR BONES, STAY STRONG, SAFEGUARD YOUR FUTURE

When you love your bones, you safeguard your future health and wellbeing!

We all know that menopause or what some refer to as “change of life” is a completely normal part of the cycle of life. However, accepting this doesn’t make the symptoms of menopause disappear. Many women experience symptoms when the hormones estrogen and progesterone in the body drop. These reduced hormone levels can result in symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats as you’ll be aware if you’re going through menopause.

Loss of Bone Density, the silent epidemic

More concerning than these temporary symptoms is that menopause can trigger a rapid loss of bone density. This is especially true in the first 6 years of menopause. Loss of bone density can lead to osteopenia and osteoporosis, see below.

Clinical studies are a great way to get free assessment of your bone density

Our current Menopause Bone Density Study is a great way to monitor your bone density over 12 months. 

If you are in the first 6 years of menopause and participate in this study the benefits to your future health and wellbeing could be immeasurable. Over the course of the study you will receive:

• Three completely free bone density scans (free) over 12 months (Start, 6 months and 12 months) to assess your bone health. Medical experts consider these DEXA scans to be the most useful, easy, and effective test for helping to diagnose osteoporosis
• Two CT scans
• You will be provided with a vitamin D supplement to also take throughout the study
• You will also receive $600 over the study to help with travel costs and your time

Recent clinical studies have shown that probiotics may maintain bone mass in menopausal women. We are testing a probiotic formulation to see if it can support your menopause symptoms and bone health over the 12 months. You may not receive the probiotic in the study, but everyone will receive it after the study.

Support Your Community

You probably know friends and family who are going through this change of life, why not find a friend and participate together? We’re all more successful and motivated in improving our long term health and wellbeing when we team up and feel supported. Why not “buddy up” and help yourself and others enjoy life more?

What is a Dexa Scan and why is it important?

A DEXA scan is a non-invasive test that measures bone mineral density to assess if a person is at risk of osteoporosis or fracture. DEXA stands for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry—a mouthful of a term that actually tells a lot about this procedure, in which two X-ray beams are aimed at the bones. While a regular X-ray can show changes in bone density (osteopenia) after bone loss of about 40%; a DEXA scan can detect changes as small as 1%, making it more sensitive and accurate.
