Although it may not seem like it at first glance, bone is a living, dynamic tissue that is in a constant state of remodeling. With adequate nutrient intake, the formation processes prevail during youth. From around the age of 30, the breakdown processes take center stage. However, most people only focus on strong, healthy bones in the second half of life, when a bone density measurement shows that bone strength has significantly decreased. However, reduced bone density can also be seen in younger individuals. Those particularly affected are people who belong to a risk group. For example, food intolerances can lead to changes in the intestinal lining, resulting in reduced nutrient absorption. Low body weight, one-sided diets, lack of exercise, alcohol, and smoking also negatively affect bone density. Lactose intolerance, which requires avoiding dairy products, can reduce calcium stores. Certain medications—such as thyroid hormones, corticosteroids, or proton pump inhibitors (“stomach protection”)—interfere with calcium absorption. Many people are deficient in vitamin D: this prevents calcium from being absorbed from the intestines and stored in the bones. Sufficient vitamin K is also required for healthy bone metabolism. In an Austrian general practitioner's office, the bone density of 48 healthy adults aged 20 to 54 years was measured via X-ray (DEXA scan). The average age of the participants was only 41 years. None of them showed any signs of inadequate bone health. However, they belonged to a risk group. The study indeed showed that insufficient bone density can occur even in younger individuals: 81% of the participants (39 people) had significantly reduced bone density.

The Product Study

The 39 individuals with low bone density were offered participation in a product study; 33 individuals accepted. The participants were randomly assigned to either the active group (with the study product) or the placebo group (with a placebo).

Over the following 6 months, 17 people received the study product (BIOGENA Osteo Calbon Komplex® Gold) and 16 received the placebo (cellulose capsules). Afterward, a further bone density measurement was performed. Eight people from the active group continued the study for an additional 6 months and were invited for another bone density measurement after a total of 12 months. The placebo group completed the study after 6 months.

The Product

BIOGENA Osteo Calbon Komplex® Gold is a specially developed combination of protein-bound calcium and phosphorus (from hydroxyapatite) with vitamins D3 and K2, both of which are essential for bone metabolism. Additionally, the product contains the trace element boron and silicon-rich silica from bamboo. The participants adhered to the recommended daily dose of 3 capsules.

The Results

The DEXA scan after 6 months showed that the participants in the active group (with the study product) were able to maintain their bone density in the hip and spine. The participants in the placebo group were unable to do so. In the placebo group, with the placebo, bone density in the spine decreased by -2% after 6 months, and in the hip, it decreased by -0.7% (see chart). In the DEXA scan after 12 months, the spinal bone density in the group that used the study product increased by an average of +1.7%. In the hip, the increase was +2% on average (see chart). This demonstrates that a targeted, long-term intake of selected nutrients can make a significant contribution to maintaining bone density.

Conclusion

Bone health is a topic that affects everyone, regardless of age. People who belong to a risk group should have a simple bone density measurement performed in consultation with their general practitioner. To maintain strong and stable bones, in addition to regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle, it is necessary to provide the body with certain nutrients. This product study shows that bone density can be maintained in the long term with the combination supplement BIOGENA Osteo Calbon Komplex® Gold.
