Understanding Bone Density Loss

and How to Combat It


Bone density is a crucial aspect of long-term health, especially as we age. The problem is, starting around the age of 30, we begin to lose about 1-3% of our bone density per year. By the time we reach 50 years old, on average, we've lost around 20% of our bone density—this number can be even higher if you have osteoporosis or osteopenia.

This loss in bone density leads to more fragile bones, increasing the risk of fractures and breaks. When people hear this, the first question they often ask is: "What can I do about it?" The good news is that there are options to combat bone density loss, but the key is understanding what it takes to stimulate new bone growth.

Think of it like boiling water. Water boils at 212°F—reach that temperature, and the water changes to steam. If you only heat the water to 80°F, 90°F, or even 100°F, it won’t boil, no matter how many times you try. Bone density works in a similar way. You need to reach a specific threshold of pressure to trigger bone growth. That threshold is approximately four times your body weight.

This is where the concept of osteogenic loading comes in. Osteogenic loading refers to applying enough pressure to stimulate new bone formation. Under normal circumstances, activities like running, biking, or lifting weights might seem like they’re enough, but unless you’re reaching that critical four-times-body-weight threshold, you’re not stimulating new bone growth. Just like water won’t boil until it hits 212°F, your bones won’t start regenerating until they experience the necessary amount of pressure.

That's where new technology comes into play. With osteogenic loading technology, you can safely apply eight, nine, or even ten times your body weight's worth of pressure on your bones. This method allows for a safe, controlled environment where you can achieve the benefits of high-impact force without the risk of injury. By reaching the required threshold, you can remineralize and recalcify your bones, improving their density and strength.

So, if you’re concerned about bone density loss, remember that it's not just about movement—it's about applying the right kind of pressure. By utilizing osteogenic loading, you can take active steps to rebuild your bone density and protect your skeletal health for the future.
