Osteoporosis Test
 This osteoporosis test is simple, accurate and can be used in your own home. You then send your sample in the pre-paid envelope provided and your results will be discreetly posted back to you.
The osteoporosis test is used to detect the presence of DpD in the urine. Dpd is a chemical involved in re-absorption of the bone.
Osteoporosis is a disease where there is a low bone density, and high deterioration of bone tissue. Both men and women can suffer from osteoporosis and are susceptible to fracture of the hip, spine and wrist.
Full instructions are provided with the test and a results interpretation leaflet explains what to do when you get your osteoporosis test results back.

Osteocare 30's
 The science of good bone structure
The number one calcium supplement in the UK, OsteocareŽ has been formulated by leading doctors and pharmacists. The well-balanced formula provides a rich source of calcium with co-factors to help maintain strong bones and teeth, as well as the health of the heart, muscles, and nerves. The formula includes the full-recommended daily allowances of calcium and magnesium, which play a vital role in bone development, along with vitamin D and zinc. Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption and utilisation of calcium, and zinc helps in the constant regeneration of bone.
Calcium is important for everyone
Ensuring an adequate intake of calcium is vital for men and women of all ages, as evidence suggests that healthy practices early in life, including the adequate consumption of calcium and trace elements, contribute to greater bone strength and optimal bone mineralisation. Peak bone mass, obtained during childhood and adolescent growth is known to be of major importance in maintaining the strength and integrity of bones later in life.

This important book explodes the calcium myth. The orthodox medical view is that there is no single cause of osteoporosis - yet great emphasis is put on the need to fortify oneself with calcium by consuming dairy produce in order to prevent or overcome the condition. However, countries with the highest consumption of dairy produce also have the highest bone fracture rate. Professor Jane Plant and Gill Tidey document scientific evidence showing that dairy produce, especially cheese, is actually damaging to those suffering from bone diseases, including osteoporosis, as it acidifies the body so that calcium is actually leached from the bones. They believe that the key to overcoming and preventing osteoporosis is the alkaline/acidity ratio of our diet, and provide lots of easy-to-follow advice and recipes to make it easy for you to alter your diet.
