Bones play many roles in the body including; providing structure, protecting organs, anchoring muscles and storing minerals. While it's important to build strong and healthy bones during childhood and adolescence, it is also essential to maintain bone health during adulthood for wellbeing during ageing and to maintain an active lifestyle.
Bones are continuously changing with new bone being formed and old bone being reabsorbed. Up to the age of 30 the body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone, therefore bone mass increases. After that, remodeling continues, but slighty more material is lost than is formed so bone density decreases. Therefore, bones become weaker and more susceptible to fracture.
Aquamin is a marine derived multi-mineral complex which has been demonstrated to possess unique activity in helping to maintain healthy bone formation. This paper is part of a series outlining the science to date and examining the unique effects of Aquamin and the cosequent role that this suite of ingredients can play in addressing common debilitating conditions, such as Osteoporosis, which impede quality of life and put undue strain on overstretched public services.
