As we age, our bodies must continue to repair and renew our tissues, or we will suffer from dysfunction and disease.

Our bones are one of those tissues that can either age well or become very diseased with time. When bones lose their mineral content, they become more porous, more weakened. This is called osteoporosis – osteo meaning bone and porous meaning full of holes!

Bone is like a long-term savings account. It contains vast amounts of vitamins, minerals, protein, and collagen. When the body becomes overly acidic calcium, other minerals are leached from your bones as the body tries to keep the pH of the blood between 7.35-7.45. Obviously, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room for the acid to build up, so the body chooses to steal from your bones to keep you alive today. If this happens once and a while, bones will age well, but if the acidity problem – caused by poor dietary choices, poor digestion, and excessive stress – is a daily problem, then men and women will see their bone density decrease rapidly as they age.

Osteoporosis affects over 50 million men and women in the United States. Unfortunately, one out of every six people in this country is suffering from significant de-mineralization of their bones. Most people are led to believe that all you have to do is give yourself more calcium, and your bones will be fine. Unfortunately, increasing calcium by itself will not fix the problem. Bone is only 13% calcium. Just taking more calcium to build more bone is like adding only flour to bake a bigger cake. You need all the other ingredients like boron, strontium, collagen, magnesium, vitamin C, etc.

At Red Mountain, we have many natural health tools to stop bone loss and to help rebuild new healthy bone. To stop bone loss, it is critical to increase the alkaline buffer systems of the body. We use high-dose, high-quality nutrients from GMP certified sources to enrich the supply of buffers. Patients are taken off their acidic diets and replaced with alkalizing food strategies. The best supplement to help with bone loss is what is called MCHC. MCHC is derived from the bones of animals, which means it contains all the necessary nutrients to build healthy, strong bones. Basically, if you want to build bone, you must eat bone, and MCHC is by far the best choice available.

By adopting an alkalizing diet, increasing alkaline nutrition, and taking a quality bone-building supplement, new healthy bone can be formed. Call us today to learn more about how you can safely reverse bone loss and start building healthier bones that will last a lifetime.
