Although osteoporosis can affect both men and women, it is more prevalent in women, especially women who have gone through menopause and have lower levels of bone protecting estrogen in their bodies. HRT, once considered the best option for protecting against bone loss in older women, has been found to be dangerous and not effect for this use. One of the best strategies for maintaining healthy bones is regular weight bearing exercises, enough sunlight exposure to product adequate levels of Vitamin D, (15- 20 minutes daily) and a diet naturally high in calcium and high quality protein.

Herbs for :Osteoporosis

Alfalfa For: bone loss
Profile	Clinical studies in Japan have found that vitamin K, found in alfalfa and in green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach, can partially prevent bone loss caused by estrogen deficiency. The vitamin interacts with vitamin D to increase the formation of new bone. The combination is not sufficient, however, to completely compensate for osteoporosis caused by estrogen-depleting medications (Phyllis A. Balch )

Horsetail For: Osteoporosis
Profile	Some French researchers assert that silicon, contained in horsetail, could assist in preventing osteoporosis and in speeding the healing of fractures. Take as a tea, once or twice a day (Weed, Susan )

Parsley For: Arthritis, Bone Health
Profile	Parsley has a longstanding folklore reputation for the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and sciatica. It's high concentration of boron and fluoride might help against bone thinning and osteoporosis. (Duke, James A, Ph.D. )

Stinging Nettle For: Osteoporosis
Profile	Taking mineral rich herbs in capsule or tincture form won't do much for your bones. One cup of nettle tincture contains the same amount of calcium - 300 mg - as one cup of nettle infusion. Many women drink two or more cups of herbal tea a day, but no one drinks a cup of tincture! The boron in nettles helps protect bones. Nettle provide a good green source of calcium along with protein (Susun Weed )
