Lactoferrin Helps Bone Building and Reduces Bone Loss
Lactoferrin is a nutrient highly concentrated in breast milk and first milk colostrum. It is best known as a powerful immunological booster, especially protective to your digestive tract. Your body makes it throughout life, and it should be in your saliva as part of your natural immune support system for digestion. It is known to help keep an overgrowth of Candida albicans in check. A new study reviews the significant role of lactoferrin as a bone building nutrient.Read More: bone strength, immunity, Lactoferrin, newborn, osteoblasts, osteoporosis
Antioxidants Protect Against Bone Loss
The more we learn about genes the more obvious it becomes that nutrition is the key to health, including bone health. A gene regulatory protein called Maf has now been identified which is needed in order to change bone stem cells into the important bone-building carpenters called osteoblasts. Too many free radicals, or the use of the diabetes drugs Avandia or Actos, causes Maf to turn off. This causes the stem cells to turn into fat cells instead of osteoblasts, causing bone loss and risk for osteoporosis.Read More: antioxidants, Avandia, bone loss, free radicals, osteoporosis
