Bone Health Test (Osteoporosis)

Description

We often think of bone as being a permanent structure but it’s actually a living tissue that is constantly being broken down and rebuilt.

This balance can be disrupted through dietary or hormonal changes leading to reduction in the minerals which contribute to bone density and strength.

This can lead to osteoporosis and a marked increase in risk of fracture, with the risk increasing with age, especially for women – particularly women who are post menopausal.

This test panel evaluates essential minerals, protein and vitamins involved in the production & maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.

If you are taking supplements such as vitamin D or calcium, then this test can be used to assess the effectiveness of your supplementation by looking at Vitamin D levels as well as calcium levels.
