"Are bisphosphonates (fosamax, actonel,boniva) secretly making your bones weaker?

If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia and are concerned about the long-term effects of bisphosphonate drugs like Fosamax, Actonel, or Boniva, this video is a must-watch.

We dive deep into a groundbreaking scientific study (Ma et al., Scientific Reports) that challenges everything you thought you knew about these common osteoporosis medications and bone density.

Discover the critical difference between bone density (what your DEXA scan shows) and true bone quality and strength. This video uncovers how long-term bisphosphonate use, while potentially increasing density, might actually lead to an accumulation of microcracks and result in more brittle, weaker bones over time – increasing your risk for certain types of fractures."—Ray Hinish, Pharm.D.

#Magnesium #whitlockite formation in the alveolar #bone, with #bisphosphonate exposure and osteolytic #skeletal #metastasis. Scanning electron microscopy, Micro-Raman spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy reveal Mg-rich, rhomboidal nodules (200 nm to 2.4 µm) within the lacuno-canalicular space. Mg-whitlockite formation in #osteocyte lacunae is multifactorial in #nature and suggests altered bone #biomineralization.
