"Against bone pain, a dietary supplement for normal ossification. Additional information physiology Bone is a living tissue that continues to form and be resorbed throughout life. Through this process, newly formed bone replaces aging bone, allowing it to be repaired. Osteoblasts are the cells that form bone. Their mission is to build bone tissue by mineralizing osteoids. More specifically, they are responsible for developing the bone protein matrix which will then mineralize in a few days using calcium phosphate. They are placed under the hormonal control of the thyroid. Osteoclasts, as opposed to osteoblasts, are the cells that destroy bone tissue. In particular, they degrade aged fabric. The combined action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts makes it possible to renew bone tissue on a regular basis throughout life. The bone remodeling that takes place begins with a phase of bone resorption followed by bone formation to fill the cavity that has just been formed. When the destructive process is more important than that of construction, the bone becomes abnormally fragile. Osteoporosis is thus characterized by a deterioration in the quality and quantity of the bone, which markedly increases the risk of having fractures. Calcium is the most important constituent of bones. Its absorption is improved by taking vitamin C, vitamin K and potassium. Vitamin D Vitamin D contributes to the normal growth of children's bones, to the intestinal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, to the maintenance of bone structure, muscle function, normal teeth. Vitamin K2 Epidemiological studies have revealed that people with low vitamin K intake also had low bone density, associated with a greater risk of fractures. Vitamin K contributes to the normal functioning of bones. Vitamin C Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen necessary for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, skin, teeth and gums. The ability to move calcium from the blood to the cells and to fix it on the bone structure depends on many factors, including the acid-base balance. Very often the calcium level is normal in people affected by osteoporosis, but they suffer from acidity. Potassium then makes it possible to alkalize and thus restore the blood pH. Experimentally, the oral administration, in postmenopausal women, of potassium bicarbonate reduces the elimination of calcium and phosphorus, thus improving the calcium balance, reduces the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline (marker of resorption of bone) and increases osteocalcin (a marker of bone formation). In a 24-week trial with 108 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, taking 10g per day of collagen increased and prolonged the effect of calcitonin, a hormone responsible for countering bone loss.
