Vitamin C Deficiency Increases Risk for Bone Loss

The lack of vitamin C¹ within bone macrophages can lead to the excessive formation of osteoclasts Type of bone cell that removes old, damaged bone by the process bone resorption. that cause bone loss.  Just as every individual needs savings for financial security so it is that your body needs a savings of antioxidants for health security.

Numerous recent breakthroughs in bone biology point to the simple fact that a variety of nutrients can be utilized by bone to stabilize natural function and maintain a healthy balance between bone-building osteoblasts and bone-demolition osteoclasts Type of bone cell that removes old, damaged bone by the process bone resorption..  The nutrients that help promote the friendly and healthy balance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts Type of bone cell that removes old, damaged bone by the process bone resorption. all fall under the category of antioxidants/anti-inflammatories.  When there is a lack of these nutrients that the expression of excessive amounts of NF-kappaB Protein complex that controls DNA transcription and is involved with cellular responses to stress, cytokines, free radicals, UV radiation, oxidized LDL, and infections. activates which drives the excessive production of osteoclasts Type of bone cell that removes old, damaged bone by the process bone resorption. from their precursor cells.

This information is of far senior importance to the ridiculous and fraudulent use of highly damaging bone drugs in the name of preventive health.  Vitamin C, like vitamin E, is one of the grand-daddies of antioxidants.  New science is proving conclusively the importance of adequate vitamin C to your health, especially in amounts far higher than prevent scurvy.  Don’t let you antioxidant savings account run low.
