“This early biomarker research adds to vitamin D's established roles in bone and mineral physiology, while clinical use remains individualized. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Katie Couric's Next Question.”

“Other studies have proposed mechanisms by which omega-3s exert their beneficial effects. For example, one study found that DHA inhibits osteoclast formation and subsequent bone resorption by inhibiting the production of TNF-alpha, a pro-inflammatory molecule.”

“FTA: > St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital study finds diet may influence susceptibility to autoinflammatory disease in at-risk individuals by favoring intestinal bacteria that fuel or dampen inflammation”

“It is thought the one possible reason why exercise in early life protects from height loss later in life is that physical activity helps to build bone.”

“Activation of cannabinoid receptors on immune cells were able to suppress them from rejecting transplants in mice. This may have huge relevance for bone marrow transplants where rejection is very common.”

“Because testosterone is fat-soluble, it needs these proteins to circulate through the blood. Only about 2–4% remains unbound as free testosterone, directly available to activate androgen receptors that support muscle growth, bone density, and overall health.”

“FTA: >Patients who need a bone marrow transplant and children who are born without a functioning thymus could all benefit. >Ways of boosting the thymus could also help elderly people. The organ shrinks with age and leads to a weaker immune system.”

“Their analysis also revealed that creatine supplementation benefits bone health by increasing bone mineral density and improving markers of bone biology. These findings suggest that creatine and resistance exercise work in a synergistic fashion to promote muscle mass and strength in older adults.”
