Osteoporosis -- A systemic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone micro architecture is one of the prime reason for debilitation & impairment of QoL in aging population.
Osteoporosis is estimated to affect 200 million women worldwide. In India, expert group pegs the number of osteoporosis patients at approximately 26 million with numbers projected to increase to 36 million by 2013. Osteoporosis is a silent killer, as the bones become porous and fragile risk of fracture increases. Worldwide, osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds. The most common fracture associated with osteoporosis occurs at the hip and spine. In a normal adult removal of small amount of bone minerals (resorption) is balanced by an equal deposition of new mineral to preserve bone health, this is termed as Bone remodeling. Remodelling of bones is governed by number of cells including osteoblasts & osteoclasts.
When this balance tips toward excessive resorption, bones weaken (osteopenia) and over time can become brittle & prone to fracture (Osteoporosis).
Bonton is a well researched & tested product for its efficacy in improving bone mineralization and faster fracture healing. Bonton is a scientifically designed polyherbal formulation fortified with legendary Herb "Cissus quadrangularis (CQ)" and other herbs that synergistically act and aid in remodeling of bones. Thus making it an suitable first line option for treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and faster fracture healing.
