Love Your Bones, Protect Your Future

Osteoporosis (porous bone) is a disease in which bones become weak and are more likely to break (fracture). Without prevention or treatment, osteoporosis can progress without pain or symptoms until a fracture occurs. Fractures from osteoporosis commonly occur in the hip, spine, and wrist.

Building strong bones and reaching peak bone density (maximum strength and solidness) can be the best defense against developing osteoporosis. After reaching the peak, which usually occurs by the age of 30, a healthy lifestyle can help keep bones strong.

Prevention is very important because, while treatments are available for osteoporosis, no cure currently exists. Prevention of osteoporosis involves several aspects, including nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, and early screening.

Our bodies need the right vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to stay healthy. Getting enough calcium and vitamin D is important for strong bones as well as for proper function of the heart, muscles, and nerves. Not getting enough calcium during a lifetime significantly increases the risk of developing osteoporosis and is associated with low bone mass, rapid bone loss, and broken bones. Vitamin D is important for the body to absorb calcium from the diet. Without enough vitamin D, the body is unable to absorb calcium from the foods that are eaten, and the body has to take calcium from the bones, making them weaker. Vitamin D production decreases with age, so we need to take enough from suitable supplement.

Exercise is important to prevent osteoporosis. Although bones may seem like hard and lifeless structures, bones are living tissue that respond, like muscle, to exercise by becoming stronger. Physical activity during childhood and adolescence increases bone density and strength. This means that children who get exercise are more likely to reach a higher peak bone density (maximum strength and solidness), which usually occurs by 30 years of age. People who reach higher peak bone densities are less likely to develop osteoporosis.

Exercise has additional benefits in older people as well because exercising increases muscle strength, coordination, and balance and leads to better overall health.

The only reliable way to determine loss of bone mass is to have a bone mineral density (BMD) test. People with strong risk factors for osteoporosis should have a BMD test. Take a one-minute osteoporosis risk test from the International Osteoporosis Foundation. Risk factors for osteoporosis include the following:

• Estrogen deficiency
• Early menopause (age <45 years) from naturally occurring processes or surgical removal of the ovaries
• Previous broken bones related to having weak bones
• Loss of height (widow's hump or dowager's hump)
• Female sex
• Asian or white race
• Poor diet without enough calcium
• Lack of exercise
• Excessive exercise leading to cessation of menstruation
• Smoking
• Regular use of large amounts of alcohol

Recommendations in the United States are that all women 65 years of age and older should have a bone mineral density test (BMD). 

By detecting low bone mass (osteopenia) or porous bones (osteoporosis) early, the patient and the doctor can take action to stop the progression of bone loss. With lifestyle changes and appropriate treatment strategies recommended by a doctor, osteoporosis can be prevented and treated and the consequences of osteoporosis (broken bones and disability) can be avoided.

Calcium isn’t always enough to build and maintain strong bones. That’s why at Shahre Daru we have developed TRIPHARM®, a special bone-building formula that locks together three essential actives for building strong, dense bones. It is the combined Vitamin K2, and Calcium and Vitamin D3, in one formulation.

TRIPHARM® is suitable for people concerned about:

Helping to reduce the risk of Osteoporosis &

Help support:

• Bone mineral density
• Bone health
• Bone strength

Take one tablet a day of TRIPHARM to help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and build stronger bones for the future. It contains clinically trialled doses of Vitamin K2- a perfect partner to Calcium! Vitamin K2 helps increase the amount of calcium deposited in bones. Osteo-K uses the same form of Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone 7), that has been shown in recent clinical studies to help build bone density. Menaquinone 7 is considered to be effective form of Vitamin K. The Vitamin K2 in TRIPHARM also helps keep calcium away from areas where it shouldn’t be, and helps support your cardiovascular health. TRIPHARM also includes Calcium & Vitamin D3 at the clinically recommended daily dose. With 625mg of calcium carbonate in every tablet, TRIPHARM can help strengthen bones and reduce the incidence of fractures and falls. It can also assist in reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Vitamin D3 assists calcium absorption to help maintain strong bones and muscles.

TRIPHARM is the only supplement on the market that combines Vitamin K2, Vitamin D and Calcium all at clinically trialled doses for bone support.
