Osteoporosis

Post describing how you can contribute (Video and Excel data entry)

This is a citizen science site -- you can contribute by investing and sharing your time.

Common knowledge amoung some professionals (MD and ND):

  1. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate: These are commonly used supplements for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine and chondroitin are components of cartilage and might help in maintaining or repairing joint tissue. Some studies suggest that they might provide modest relief from OA symptoms, although results are mixed. They are often taken together in supplement form.

  2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil or certain plant-based sources may have anti-inflammatory properties that could potentially benefit individuals with OA by reducing inflammation and joint pain. Some evidence suggests they might help in managing symptoms.

  3. Turmeric/Curcumin: Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies suggest that curcumin supplements might have a role in reducing inflammation and providing pain relief for individuals with OA, although more research is needed.

  4. Vitamin D and Calcium: Adequate levels of vitamin D and calcium are important for bone health. While they are not specific treatments for OA, maintaining optimal levels might support overall bone and joint health.

  5. Probiotics: While not directly related to joint health, maintaining a healthy gut microbiome might indirectly influence overall health and potentially impact inflammation. Some research suggests that probiotics might have a role in reducing inflammation, which could benefit individuals with OA. However, specific strains, dosages, and their effects on OA require further research.
