Bone building for men Q: Most of the information on osteoporosis is geared towards women. Can you tell me what men should do to keep their bones healthy? Dr. Wright: Even though most of the studies on nutrients and osteoporosis have been done on women, the bone-strengthening effects of strontium, calcium, and vitamin D are just as applicable for men. And you can do even better if you also take other natural bone-builders like magnesium, vitamin K, boron, and manganese. Natural testosterone replacement can also help keep men's bones strong and healthy (just be sure to have your physician screen you for pre-existing prostate cancer before you begin bio-identical testosterone therapy). For help with determining the dosages of the above nutrients that best suit your individual needs, you should consult with a physician skilled and knowledgeable in natural medicine. The American College for Advancement in Medicine can help you find one in your area. Contact them by calling (800)532-3688 or visit their website,www.acam.org.  |
