STRENGTHEN YOUR BONES

How healthy are your bones?
The bones in your body are continuously changing — new bone is made, and old bone is broken down. When you're young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, and your bone mass increases. Most people reach their peak bone mass around age 30.
After that, your bones continue to reconstruct, but you lose slightly more bone mass than you gain.
The higher your peak bone mass, the less likely you are to develop osteoporosis — a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle — as you age.
Thankfully, there are certain steps you can take to prevent or slow bone loss, such as consuming sufficient calcium and vitamin D, exercising, and avoiding substance abuse. Glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen supplements can also help greatly.
Benefits of Collagen
Collagen is a protein responsible for healthy joints and skin elasticity. It is the most abundant protein in your body. It's in your bones, muscles, and blood.
Your body produces collagen naturally, but your collagen breaks down as you age, and it gets harder for your body to produce more. As a result, many people turn to collagen supplements.
Collagen for Bone Health
Your bones are mostly made of collagen, and they become less dense and more brittle as you age. Thus, your bones break more easily and taking longer to heal. Studies have shown that collagen supplements can help increase bone density, slowing the ageing process that makes bones brittle and helping your body produce new bone.
Collagen helps your joints move more efficiently and reduces pain often associated with ageing. It even reduces the risk of joint deterioration. Consuming collagen supplements may also help reduce the risk of bone disorders like osteoporosis.
Other Benefits of Collagen
-
Skin Health: Collagen may help slow the ageing of your skin by reducing wrinkles and dryness.
-
Muscle Mass: Research shows that collagen supplements increase muscle growth and strength in people with age-related muscle mass loss.
-
Hair and Nails: Collagen may increase the strength of your nails by preventing brittleness. It may also stimulate your hair and nails to grow longer.
-
Heart Health: Collagen provides structure to your arteries. Without enough collagen, arteries may become fragile, which may lead to atherosclerosis.

Vitamin D for Bone Health
Vitamin D3, also known as the "sunshine vitamin," is a form of vitamin D known as cholecalciferol, critical for the development and normal functioning of many organs in your body.
Vitamin D3 helps absorb calcium and phosphorus, which helps keep your bones strong. It also helps your immune system and mood and contributes to heart health and weight loss.
Your skin produces vitamin D3 when it's exposed to sunlight, but you can also get vitamin D from food and supplements. In fact, evidence suggests supplements are just as effective as sunlight and food sources, and it's the easiest way to ensure you're getting enough vitamin D3 every day.
Symptoms of Vitamin D3 Deficiency

-
Fatigue

-
Depression
-
Hypertension

Vitamin D3 and Bone Health
The primary function of vitamin D is to help support normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to support the formation and maintenance of strong teeth and bones.
Calcium is stored in your bones and provides calcium through mineral resorption when serum levels of this essential element drop. Vitamin D also increases the reabsorption of phosphate by the kidney tubule and may directly affect the osteoblast, the cell which forms bone.
Your body will extract calcium from your bones if it doesn't have enough vitamin D.
