Bone Health
Bones
-
Maintenance
Hydroxyapatite crystals
Cortical Bone
-
-
slow turnover, ~80% of entire skeleton
Trabecular Bone
-
-
dynamic, ends of long bones, spinal vertebrae
-
-
-
Formation
Mineral Matter
-
Hydroxyapatite crystals Ca10[PO43-]6[OH]2 : formed by dietary calcium and phosphate salt #
-
-
Measuring Bone Density
-
Ultrasound
sound waves, measure bone density in heel
non-invasive, painless, quick
screening tool, not diagnostic
-
Dietary Calcium and Phosphorus are essential for bone formation and maintenance #
Minerals
Calcium
Absorption
Enhanced Absorption
-
Depends on active vitamin D #
-
-
-
-
Decreased Absorption
-
-
-
-
-
-
high supplement use of Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc or Iron # #
-
-
-
Sources
Supplements
Types
Various forms: tablets, chewable, liquid
Common Supplements: carbonate, citrate, lactate, phosphate
Avoid: refined oyster shell, dolomite, coral or bone meal supplement
-
-
-
Recommended, but must be taken with consideration
-
-
Absorption
-
-
Enhanced by lactose and Vitamin D #
-
-
-
Food Sources
-
-
Legumes, cereal, bran, nuts
Magnesium
Function
Bone & Teeth
Mg indirectly affects calcium balance as it is needed for the action of vitamin D and the production of parathyroid hormone #
Mg used in mineral crystal structure of bone - can replace Ca in hydroxyapatite #
-
-
Blood & Tissue Magnesium
-
-
Blood clotting
Mg inhibits blood clotting (ion antagonist to calcium) #
-
-
-
-
Toxicity
-
Pharmacological dosage may cause symptoms similar to Mg deficiency #
Food Sources
-
Leafy greens, avocado, beets
Whole grains, nuts, seeds, tofu, legumes
high calcium intake interferes with Magnesium absorption #
Trace Minerals
Fluoride
Role in Bone and Teeth Mineralization #
-
Fluoride + Hydroxyapatite = Fluorapatite - Stronger crystal in bones and teeth # #
-
-
Toxicity
Flurosis
White specks, molting, or brown streaks on teeth
-
-
-
-
-
Food Sources
-
Seafood, seaweed, shellfish, fish
-
Fat-Soluble Vitamin
Vitamin D (calcitriol)
-
-
Function
Regulates Bone Calcium and Bone Metabolism in 3 Sites #
-
-
-
at low blood calcium level, calcitriol increase calcium blood levels
Immune Function
-
nervous system, muscle, skin, reproduction
-
Deficiency
Children
Rickets
poor mineralization and shaping of bones, bowed legs, malformed ribs
-
-
Adults
Osteomalacia
-
-
Caused by
kidney, liver, intestinal diseases
-
-
-
Toxicity
-
Food intake: safe, non-toxic at normal intake
-
-
Food Sources
Animal Products
egg yolks, liver, fish, and fish oils
Fortified Food
milk, margarine, orange juice, yogurt
stable to heat, storage, and processing
-
Vitamin K
Introduction
-
essential for blood clotting, coenzyme for synthesis of protein
40-80% absorbed, with dietary lipids; incorporated into chylomicrons
-
-
Roles
-
Blood Clotting
necessary for proteins in the production of fibrin, blood clotting protein
-
Deficiency
-
Adults
rare, due to antibiotic use
-
Toxicity
rare, food sources are considered non-toxic
Symptoms
RBC hemolysis, jaundice, brain damage
-
Food sources
Green leafy vegetables
kale, peas, broccoli, green beans
-
abundant in diet, bacterial synthesis in large intestine
-
Effected by
Genetics, Environment, Hormones, nutrients intake (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, fluoride)
