Potent Extract Boosts Bone Density NATURALLY
After women go through menopause a steep drop in estrogen brings on many changes.
Some you can see… like an increase in wrinkles or weight gain.
Others you feel… like moodiness or memory issues.
But some side effects can go completely unnoticed… until it’s too late.
The decline in bone density is at the top of this list, with far too many women ending up with fragile or broken bones as a result.
Fortunately, there’s a way for postmenopausal women to SLOW age-related bone loss—and even to REGAIN some of what’s already gone.
…ADS/JUMP…
Previous animal research revealed that blackcurrant extracts can prevent bone loss post-menopause.
To determine if these supplements would have the same beneficial effect on humans, researchers recruited 40 women between 45 and 60 who were in peri- or postmenopausal for a study.
The participants took a daily dose of either…
- one blackcurrant capsule (392 milligrams),
- two capsules,
- or a placebo.
After six months, the blackcurrant supplements prevented bone-mineral density loss.
That’s fantastic news, but this is even BETTER:
Those taking a daily dose of two capsules experienced increased bone mineral density.
The study then took things a step further to find out why blackcurrants impact bone density in such a powerful way.
First, they found the supplements cause changes that lead to decreased bone resorption. This helps promote overall bone density because it slows the breakdown of your bones.
Second, they found that blackcurrant supplements increase the gut bacteria Ruminococcus 2, which has been linked to better bone density in previous research.
Since drugs to slow bone loss come with a laundry list of unpleasant side effects, this is exciting news for women who face bone loss due to menopause.
If you’re a postmenopausal woman, blackcurrant supplements are a powerful ally to have in your corner as you work to maintain and protect your bone health.
