Welcome to the Osteoporosis Community

It's like having termites chew up the frame of your house. When you have osteoporosis, your skeleton loses its structural integrity. Your main support beams - your bones - have been whittled away as your body begins to favor bone breakdown over bone building. And the slightest pressure - even your own body weight - can lead to a fracture.
But with proper bone nutrition, like taking enough calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, osteoporosis and fracture risk can be slowed down a bit. Chart a solid future through working with a good doctor, diet, and exercise program to strengthen your bones. This community can help you find the resources you need.
