After menopause, many women develop osteoporosis, making the hip joint particularly vulnerable due to decreased bone density and increased fall risk. Women account for about 70% of the 300,000 annual hip fractures in the U.S., and around 760,000 hip replacement surgeries are performed each year. These fractures can cause severe complications, including long-term disability, loss of independence, and increased mortality risk. Promoting hip and pelvic bone health early in menopause, through bone-supporting supplements and weight-bearing exercises, is crucial to prevent fractures.
Therefore, we have designed the Hip & Pelvic Support Kit to help promote the ovrall health and wellness for postmenopausal women.
The Hip & Pelvic Support Kit includes four dietary supplements
- Multivitamin for Menopausal Women with Green Superfoods and Herbal Extracts.
- Bone Support.
- Kresendo for vitalizing energy.
- Feminine Moisture Support (Sea Buckthorn Oil).
These supplements can provide valuable support for hip joint health and overall bone strength, especially the pelvic bones in postmenopausal women. Here’s how each of these supplements contributes to stronger hips and pelvic bones:
1. Multivitamin for Menopausal Women
This supplement includes a range of vitamins, minerals, and superfoods that support overall health, including bone and joint health:
- Vitamin D2 (400 IU): Essential for calcium absorption and bone health. It helps maintain bone density and may prevent osteoporosis, which is important for hip joint and pelvic health in postmenopausal women.
- Magnesium (50 mg): Supports bone structure and helps maintain muscle function. It can reduce muscle cramps and joint stiffness.
- Zinc (15 mg): Vital for collagen synthesis, supporting joint cartilage and bone structure.
- Vitamin A, C, and E: These antioxidants reduce inflammation and support joint function.
- Green tea extract and spirulina: Have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce joint pain and improve circulation, benefiting hip joint health.
2. Bone Support
This supplement is specifically designed to improve bone health, which directly impacts hip joint and pelvic bone strength:
- Vitamin D3 (1,000 IU) and Calcium (500 mg): These are critical for maintaining bone density and preventing osteoporosis. A higher dose of vitamin D3 (compared to the multivitamin) ensures better calcium absorption, which is crucial for hip joint health.
- Magnesium (250 mg): Supports bone mineralization and muscle function.
- Vitamin K2: Helps direct calcium to bones and prevents it from accumulating in soft tissues or joints, which can lead to joint stiffness and pain.
- Zinc and Copper: These minerals support collagen production, which is essential for maintaining healthy joint cartilage.
- Organic Kelp: Provides additional trace minerals that support bone and joint health.
3. Kresendo (Maca and Horny Goat Weed)
- Maca: Known for balancing hormones, it may help support estrogen levels, which decline during menopause. Since estrogen is vital for bone density, Maca can help maintain hip and pelvic bone strength and reduce the risk of fractures.
- Horny Goat Weed: Contains icariin, a compound with phytoestrogenic effects that may help preserve bone density by mimicking the effects of estrogen, especially in postmenopausal women.
These herbs, while primarily used for libido enhancement, may also contribute to joint health by reducing inflammation and supporting hormonal balance, which indirectly helps preserve bone strength.
4. Sea Buckthorn Oil
- Omega-7 (336 mg): Supports joint health by promoting the lubrication of joints, reducing inflammation, and maintaining cartilage integrity. It’s also known to help with bone health.
- Omega-3 (40 mg) and Omega-6 (80 mg): These fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce joint pain and stiffness.
- Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting tissues, including the joints, from oxidative damage.
Sea Buckthorn Oil is an excellent source of omega fatty acids that can support joint lubrication, reducing discomfort and stiffness in the hips.
Summary:
These supplements can support stronger hips and pelvic bones by promoting bone health, joint function, and inflammation reduction in postmenopausal women:
- Multivitamins and Green Superfoods provide vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support bone density and joint health.
- Bone Support offers higher doses of calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium, which are essential for strong bones.
- Kresendo (Maca and Horny Goat Weed) helps support hormonal balance, indirectly benefiting bone health.
- Sea Buckthorn Oil provides omega fatty acids that reduce inflammation and support joint lubrication, contributing to hip joint health.
Together, these supplements can help strengthen bones, improve joint function, and reduce hip pain or discomfort associated with menopause. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting new supplements to ensure they meet individual health needs.
Caution:
Taking Kresendo may increase serum estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, even though it is hormone-free. As a result, it is not recommended for women with estrogen-sensitive breast cancer or those who are survivors. If you have or have had estrogen-sensitive cancer, consider omitting Kresendo and using the other three supplements to support your joints and bones.
