Description
OsteoFood™ provides a combination of nutrients with demonstrated efficacy in managing menopausal bone loss and increasing bone mineral density. Combination nutritional therapies have been found to be more effective than calcium and vitamin D3 alone.
What Is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis, which literally means porous bones, is a disease where bones lose their density and become fragile. With osteoporosis, there is a decline in the body’s bone remodeling process, where bone breakdown progresses faster than bone formation. The end result is that your bones become brittle and weak, putting you at a much higher risk of fracture from either a fall or sometimes just from simply bumping into an object. While any bone can be affected, bones in the spine, hip, and wrist are most susceptible to fracture.
8 Million Women Suffer From Osteoporosis
- Osteoporosis is most common in postmenopausal women
- A woman’s risk of hip fracture is equal to her risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer combined
2 Million Men Suffer From Osteoporosis
- Men over 50 years old are more likely to break a bone due to osteoporosis than to get prostate cancer
- Approximately half of women and one-fourth of men aged 50 years or older will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture within their lifetime

OsteoFood™: A Medical Food For Bone Loss
Medical Foods: an FDA regulated category of products intended for the dietary management of a disease or condition that has distinct nutritional requirements. Unlike drugs, the ingredients in medical foods must be Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). Typically, medical foods are not associated with the negative side effects that are commonly seen with pharmaceuticals.
OsteoFood™ is a complete bone building formula. It provides all the key bone building nutrients in one product, so no additional supplementation is necessary for bone health.
