Osteoporosis Treatment

 Hormone Replacement & Osteoporosis  |  Osteoporosis Prevention


An increasing number of studies show that progesterone as a natural alternative to traditional osteoporosis treatment is highly effective in not only preventing bone loss but in actually increasing bone density. This natural alternative to traditional osteoporosis treatment not only helps build bone mass, but also helps decrease menopause symptoms without side effects associated with hormone replacement therapy or dugs used for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Researchers for decades researchers for decades suspected that the decrease in estrogen contributed to osteoporosis, mostly because women typically begin to notice the effects of osteoporosis after going through menopause. Based on that assumption, doctors prescribed estrogen as osteoporosis treatment during menopause. However, recent studies clearly show that estrogen alone as an osteoporosis treatment does little for long-term prevention of bone loss.

Given the serious health risks associated with estrogen and the lack of long-term benefit, estrogen is one of the least appropriate osteoporosis treatment methods women should take. New medication alternatives for the treatment of osteoporosis pose less harmful side effects than hormone replacement therapy, but these drugs used for osteoporosis treatment also have unpleasant and potentially harmful side effects and are still sometimes ineffective for long-term bone health.

The medication drugs most commonly prescribed for osteoporosis treatment are Calcitonin (Miacalcin) and Alendronate (Fosamax). Forteo, a new drug medication for the treatment of osteoporosis also promises good results.

For women seeking osteoporosis treatment while simultaneously addressing menopause related symptoms and health concerns, progesterone is the perfect natural alternative. The lack of progesterone causes a decrease in new bone formation. Using progesterone cream as a natural osteoporosis alternative can increase bone mass and actually reverse osteoporosis!

In addition to improving new bone formation and warding off osteoporosis, progesterone balances estrogen dominance., improves lipid profile, improves blood sugar control, improves the ability to burn body fat. Progesterone cream eliminates hot flashes, helps with sleep disorders, normalizes and restores sexual desire, promotes youthful skin appearance and reduces the risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer.

For a healthy and natural alternative to osteoporosis treatment, postmenopausal women should up to one teaspoon of high quality progesterone cream daily for three weeks each month. The week off progesterone maintains the sensitivity of the progesterone receptors. We recommend Return to Eden natural progesterone cream. The Return to Eden progesterone cream has one of the highest levels of progesterone in creams on the market today and uses only high quality ingredients, with no artificial fillers.

Women do not need to take estrogen for osteoporosis treatment given the natural alternative of progesterone. Estrogen works to diminish bone loss while progesterone aids the body in building new bone. Bones are living tissue that is constantly dying off and rejuvenating. The larger bones in the body are replaced every 10 to 12 years while smaller, less dense bones are replaced every two to three years.

This is the good news. Even if bones have lost density, there is opportunity to gain it back. But, in order for new bone to be made, bones need an adequate supply of nutrients, regular weight-bearing exercise and hormonal balance conducive to bone growth.
