Many women experiencing menopause-related vaginal atrophy also suffer from osteoporosis, often unaware of the risk of bone fractures. In the U.S., 8 million postmenopausal women have osteoporosis, and 34 million have low bone mass (osteopenia), putting them at risk of fractures.
Osteoporosis typically shows no symptoms unless detected through an X-ray, which means many women don’t realize their bones are weakened. However, painful sex is a highly noticeable symptom. This not only indicates vaginal atrophy but may also suggest osteoporosis, as both conditions are related to menopause and often develop together.
Calcium deficiency contributes to both osteoporosis and vaginal atrophy. Therefore, calcium and vitamin D3-K2 supplements can benefit a woman's bones and help alleviate vaginal dryness.
We recommend certain dietary supplements to support women’s health but only sell sea buckthorn oil, which is not easily found in local stores. Our customers are free to purchase other supplements from drugstores or online, and we do not receive any commission from these purchases. We provide suggestions, not pressure, and many of our over 100,000 customers appreciate the knowledge shared.
NeuEve is preferred over estrogen, not because it is cheaper, but because it is safer. Estrogen can increase cancer risk, but NeuEve is hormone-free. Estrogen may reduce the need for calcium supplements since it helps with calcium absorption, but NeuEve doesn’t have this effect. Therefore, if using NeuEve for vaginal dryness, it's important to take calcium and vitamin D3-K2 supplements to prevent osteoporosis and vaginal atrophy.
Vaginal atrophy often develops alongside skin atrophy (wrinkles). Omega-3, 6, 7, 9, and collagen supplements can promote skin regeneration, helping to combat both vaginal atrophy and skin wrinkles.
For less than $2 a day, consider these supplements to help prevent vaginal atrophy and osteoporosis:
- Calcium and vitamin D3-K2. For women over 50, NIH recommends 1,200 mg calcium intake per day (https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/calcium-HealthProfessional/). Since you may get some calcium from foods, taking 1 gram calcium supplement pill per day may be good.
- Sea buckthorn oil (for omega-7 and vitamin A) https://www.neueve.com/sea_buckthorn
- Fish oil or flaxseed oil (for omega-3, 6, 9)
- Collagen peptides for skin regeneration
These supplements are affordable and highly beneficial, offering anti-aging effects similar to hormones but without the cancer risk. They support stronger bones, younger-looking skin, and improved intimacy.
However, if you prefer not to take multiple supplements, we strongly recommend at least calcium and vitamin D3-K2 due to the higher risk of bone fractures compared to vaginal atrophy and wrinkles.
