Q. | What is Ostivone? top |
A. | Ostivone is a new dietary nutrient found in bone health supplements that has been shown in clinical studies to maximize bone mineral density and inhibit bone loss. When taken together, Ostivone and calcium resulted in significantly greater bone mineral density than taking calcium by itself. Ostivone, scientifically known as ipriflavone, is part of the bio-flavonoid family, which are compounds commonly found in plants. |
Q. | Do I still need to take calcium? top |
A. | Calcium is absolutely essential for bone health. However, the addition of Ostivone was shown to result in greater bone mineral density than taking calcium by itself. The recommended daily allowance for calcium is 1000 to 1200 mg of calcium a day based on a 2000 calorie per day diet. This total may be derived from both food and dietary supplements. |
Q. | Is Ostivone clinically proven? top |
A. | Extensive international research by doctors in double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials prove Ostivone is safe and effective. |
Q. | What is low bone density? top |
A. | Bones are living tissues, consisting of a hard outer shell with a spongy inner core, that constantly replenish themselves. Every day new bone cells (osteoblasts) are created to replace old bone cells (osteoclasts). When new bone formation naturally slows with age, bones lose density. As a result, the bones become fragile, and the risk of fracture increases substantially. |
Q. | How does Ostivone support bone health? top |
A. | Ostivone is the only non-hormonal nutrient shown to stimulate the formation of new bone cells and inhibit the loss of healthy bone when taken with calcium. Severe loss of bone mass and the resultant bone damage is largely preventable. |
Q. | Who should take Ostivone? top |
A. | Ostivone is recommended to help maintain bone mineral density. It is also recommended for those at high risk, suffering from greater bone loss, to maximize your potential bone density. Consult your physician to check your bone density and take steps to improve your health today. |
Q. | How does ipriflavone compare to soy? top |
A. | Soy contains materials called isoflavones. The dominant soy isoflavones are Genestein and Daidzein, which have benefits unrelated to bone density. Ipriflavone is an isoflavone found in small amounts in legume plants, such as alfalfa. Ipriflavone is the only isoflavone shown to improve bone health. |
Q. | Is ipriflavone derived from soy? top |
A. | No. Ipriflavone is a "nature identical" synthetic compound. All of the clinical trials showing the effectiveness of Ipriflavone on bone health have been done with this compound. |
