Dexa Bone Scan
The DTX 4000 was developed on the background of over 20 years of research within the field of osteoporosis. The scanner quickly, precisely and accurately detects the 8mm distance between the radius and ulna and starts the measurement from that point to 24mm proximally every single time. This area correlates to the rest of the body as far as bone without being affected by degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis.
You can not tell by looking! Only a bone density test (densitometry) can test and measure bone strength. This accurate, painless, non-invasive test can detect low-normal bone density, osteopenia or osteoporosis before a fracture occurs, predict the possibility of fracturing in the future, determine the rate of bone loss and monitor the effects of treatment.
Bone loss progresses silently and painlessly until the bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump or fall causes a fracture or a vertebra to collapse. Subsequent fractures may occur and lead to chronic back pain and height loss. The most typical fracture sites are hip, spine, wrist and ribs, but the disease can affect any bone in the body.
The word osteoporosis is from the Greek osteon for “bone” and porus for “pore” or “passage”. The percentage of calcium stored in your bones decreases over time. The structural integrity of the inside of the bone is impaired. Cortical bone (the dense outer layer of bone) becomes more porous and thinner. When the skeletal structure is in this weakened condition, fractures occur.
RISK FACTORS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
There are millions of Americans currently at risk for osteoporosis who have not been diagnosed. Women can lose up to 20% of their bone mass 5 to years following menopause. In men over the age of 50, 1 in 20 are at risk for an osteoporosis fracture. Early detection is the first line of defense. If diagnosed early, osteoporosis is preventable.

Elite Cal-Mg
A dietary supplement to support bone health.
90 capsules
Ultimate Magnesium
Ultimate Magnesium contains magnesium lysinate glycinate (mineral amino acid chelate) and chelated dimagnesium malate - both formulated for enhanced absorption. Malic acid (from di-magnesium malate) supports energy production and lactic acid clearance via the Krebs cycle. Malic acid may also support antioxidant systems by enhancing glutathione and antioxidant enzymes.
