This document discusses osteoporosis and bone health. It provides statistics on osteoporosis prevalence and consequences. It identifies key risk factors for osteoporosis like low calcium intake, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol, gender, and small body size. It explains how estrogen helps maintain bone density and how bone loss increases after menopause. Recommended daily calcium intake levels are provided for different age groups. The benefits of an Ossein mineral complex supplement called OSS-PRO are described, including its ability to prevent and heal fractures by providing proteins and minerals that stimulate bone growth.

6. What affects Bone Health
Calcium in diet
A diet low in calcium contributes
to diminished bone density,
early bone loss and an
increased risk of fractures.
Physical activity
People who are physically inactive
have a higher risk of osteoporosis
than do their more-active
counterparts.
7. Smoking is a key lifestyle risk factor for bone loss and
fractures. Similarly, alcohol consumption has major harmful
effects on bone development and maintenance at all ages.
Ref: Alcohol’s Harmful Effect on Bone, H. WAYNE SAMPSON, P, National
Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Tobacco and Alcohol Use
Woman are at greater risk of osteoporosis as they have less
bone tissue than men. Similarly extremely thin people(with a
BMI of 19 or less) or with small body frame are also prone,
as they have less bone mass to draw from as age increases.

8. Calcium deficiency
Slow bone formation
Thin brittle
Osteoporotic bone
Effects of low calcium
and decrease estrogen level on bone
Estrogen is essential for healthy bone and that when the production of estrogen is
reduced, as occurs normally in Postmenopausal women and pathogenically after
exposure to the radiation or chemotherapeutic drugs ,bones become brittle and
break easily
Link b/w Estrogen & Osteoporosis
9. After mid-30’s, you begin to slowly
lose bone mass. Women lose bone
mass faster after menopause, but it
happens to men too.
Bones can weaken early in life without a healthy diet and the right kinds of physical activity.

17. Ossein Mineral Complex Vs Others Calcium
MCHC is more than a source of minerals: it provides
proteins, growth factors, and mucopolysaccharides
that all work together to stimulate bone growth and
prevent bone loss
1
Provide more calcium
2
calcium in MCHC is absorbed more slowly into the
bloodstream than typical calcium supplements,
which allows it to be better taken up into the bones,
rather than being deposited in arteries or other soft
tissues.
3
Calcium carbonate is not a complete mineral
supplementation for bone density.
1
Less Calcium
2
Calcium carbonate is difficult to absorb in individuals
with low stomach acid, a common problem in post-
menopausal women and those on acid blockers due
to reflux or ulcers

18. Ossein Mineral Complex Vs Others Calcium
MCHC is not just a calcium source but an almost-
complete bone-building supplement in itself.
4
OHC is significantly more effective in preventing bone
loss than CC.
5
Supplementation with MCHC has superior bone-
preserving and bone-building effects over years of
use compared to calcium carbonate or other calcium
salts
6
It is just a calcium source

Prevention
Healing
MCHC not only cures but also prevents
the occurrence of osteoporosis
It stimulates fracture healing.
Sterilization
It contains proteins, which help in
sterilization body temperature and also
help in physical growth & tissue repair.
Demineralization
It also reduces pregnancy snags & helps in
demineralization of bone during lactation & in
the normal course of life.
Growth
For rapid growth of children.
