- Vitamin D signals to prevent bone loss during osteoporosis
In a study appearing online on January 19 in advance of print publication in the February 2006 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Japanese researchers examine mice with severe osteoporosis and show that oral vitamin D treatment inhibits the production of the protein c-Fos, which plays a role in bone breakdown and resorption.

- WHI Study Shows Unexpected Outcomes for Calcium and Vitamin D
Two major studies published in the February 16 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine on the role of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in the health of post-menopausal women showed disappointing outcomes inconsistent with the large body of scientific evidence and the prevailing wisdom about the beneficial effects of these two nutrients. One study assesses calcium and vitamin D supplementation on the risk of fractures, and the other on these nutrients’ effects on the risk of colorectal cancer

- Beneo(TM)Synergy1, breakthrough bone health claims
Latest research at the Children’s Nutrition Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, has not only shown that Beneo™Synergy1 increases calcium uptake, but also concluded that the extra-absorbed calcium is going exactly where it is needed - straight to the bones. One hundred adolescents were given either 8g Beneo(TM)Synergy1 or an equivalent amount of placebo every day for a year, and after one year, the increase in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) among the Beneo(TM)Synergy1 group was 45% higher compared to the controls, with bone mineral content showing 30mg bone calcium accretion per day.

- New Research Clarifies Nutritional Roles Of Calcium, Vitamin D, and Protein In Bone Health and Fracture Risk
Research presented at the IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis in Toronto, Canada indicates that calcium in food might do more to protect bones than supplemental calcium in pill form, shows also that vitamin D supplements reduce fracture risk only in the presence of additional calcium; and that high protein foods also promote bone health.

- Boron, Omega-3 Fatty Acids Promote Bone Strength
Researchers from the USDA’s (United States Department of Agriculture) Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center fed rat pups either a low or boron-supplemented diet with palm (low omega-3) or canola (high omega-3) oil and then tested femur strength and tibial concentrations of certain minerals. Bone strength and flexibility were lowest in the boron-deprived rats fed canola oil, yet were greatest in boron-supplemented rats fed canola oil.

- Natural Vitamin K2 Supplement MenaQ7 Shown to be Superior to K1 in A New Human Study in the Journal Blood
Scientists at the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CARIM) and VitaK, Maastricht University, The Netherlands, demonstrated a significant superiority of Natural Vitamin K2 as Mk-7 in four different human models. They cited the major difference between the vitamin K species as the very long half-life time of Mk-7, which results in much more stable blood levels and 7 to 8 times greater accumulation of Mk-7 in the blood. Mk-7 also more effectively promoted and activated markers of bone building and showed a marked advantage against vitamin K antagonists.

- Study: Dietary calcium is better than supplements at protecting bone health
Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition involved a study of 183 postmenopausal women asked to meticulously detail their diet and their calcium supplement intake for a week. A "supplement group," got at least 70 percent of their daily calcium from tablets or pills; "diet group," got at least 70 percent of their calcium from dairy products and other foods; "diet plus supplement group," consisted of those whose calcium-source percentages fell somewhere in between these ranges. The researchers observed that the "diet group" took in the least calcium, an average of 830 milligrams per day. Yet this group had higher bone density in their spines and hipbones than women in the "supplement group,."

An 8-week double-blind placebo controlled study using 24 female students ages 18 to 24 who had not done recent, regular resistance exercise followed an 8-week resistance exercise program and also consumed either a placebo or Bone-Up®. Upon comparing data from before and after the 8-week study intervention, Bone-Up® treatment (not placebo) was found to produce statistically significant changes in urinary DPD and alpha-helical peptide (markers of bone degradation), plasma bone specific alkaline phosphatase (a marker of bone synthesis), plasma 2,5-OH-vitamin D (an indicator of vitamin D nutritional status) and plasma parathyroid hormone

Supplementation with SoyLife® EXTRA decreased bone loss in postmenopausal women
Minneapolis – A new study published in this month's European Journal of Nutrition demonstrates a strong correlation between reducing bone loss in non-obese postmenopausal women and the dose-dependent effect of soy germ isoflavones, particularly SoyLife®. These findings support previous scientific findings regarding soy isoflavones for post-menopausal women.
According to the authors of the study, "Osteoporosis is a health condition experienced by about one in three postmenopausal women, with estrogen deficiency often acting as the major cause. Hormone replacement therapy has been the most effective treatment for maintaining bone density. This treatment often has adverse side effects such as an increased risk for endometrial cancer and breast cancer."
"It is imperative to find natural, safe and effective alternatives for women to help maintain bone health after menopause – without the risky side effects associated with long-term hormone replacement therapy use. This promising research is another step in advancing soy germ isoflavones as a safe, effective option," said Jocelyn Mathern, RD and Technical Specialist, Acatris.
The study aimed to examine the effects of a high-dose supplementation of soy germ isoflavones (84 and 126 mg SoyLife® EXTRA/day) in slowing bone loss in 90 early postmenopausal Chinese women. Isoflavones are found predominately in soy products. Their structure and functions are similar to estrogen, and observational studies suggest that higher intakes of soy and soy products may lower the prevalence of osteoporosis.
Soy isoflavones have been supported by proprietary scientific studies to promote women's health, bone health, heart health, prostate health and cognitive function. A focus of the study, SoyLife® is a range of ingredients from soy germ, rich in isoflavones. More than just an isoflavone concentrate, SoyLife® offers the complete spectrum of natural soy compounds, the Soy MatrixTM, which enhances the bio-availability of isoflavones.
"In addition to this research, more studies are examining the effects of either soy or isoflavones on bone density in humans," said Mathern. "We are awaiting results of a large study, the Osteoporosis Prevention Using Soy (OPUS) study, a multi-site, two year research study on the use of soy isoflavones to prevent bone loss in 400 postmenopausal women. Both this current study and OPUS used SoyLife®, and we're excited to see SoyLife® helping lead the way in determining the required dosage of soy isoflavones for safely decreasing bone loss and preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women."
Another recent study published in the journal of Fertility and Sterility demonstrated soy isoflavones' effectiveness and key role in improving mood and cognitive function in postmenopausal women. This research strongly points to soy isoflavone supplementation as a natural, effective way to significantly improve the quality of life for postmenopausal women.
