Very interesting data on a carotenoid I hadn't heard about. There is additional preclinical data that supports its use to prevent bone loss. While preclinical data certainly isn't strong evidence it does line up with the observational studies. The preclinical data includes a number of in vitro studies showing mechanistic effects and there are mammal animal models showing the direct benefits of supplementing with just beta-cryptoxanthin in the prevention of bone loss. Regardless of the additional supporting data for this supplement, I strongly agree that obtaining beta-cryptoxanthin from healthy food sources is the best approach. Thanks for the great info!
Thank you for sharing this thoughtful and detailed insight! I'm glad you found the information valuable-it's great to have such an informed discussion on this topic!
I am passionate about my daily diet and always attempt to get as much nutrients as possible from my diet. However, given the number of nutrients that our body needs on a daily basis, it is not possible to get all the required nutients through food alone, so I aim to get the required nutrients from a mixture of food and supplements. As often as possible, as a result of availability, I include papaya, tangerines, carrots, mangoes, peppers, and sometimes, persimmon in my diet.
Thanks to you, I had my first REMS scan today. I'm wondering: Does a good bone quality score tend to suggest that a person's nutrition is likely on the good side and that it's more that the weight-bearing exercise aspect has been lacking at this point?
That's fantastic to hear you had your first REMS scan! Keep exploring ways to support your bones holistically. Great question!

Hi, methodically tracking your nutrition with cronometer will tell you how your diet is. Blood tests measuring your bone markers, lipids, dhea, vitamins, iron etc will fill in the gaps. A gut test will tell you of your gut is leaky, how you are absorbing fats and if you are getting the benefit from supplements.
@clair3529 Thanks. Yes, I've been tracking on Cronometer this year, but my thought was more of a hypothesizing of whether a good bone quality reading on a REMS might be more indicative of exercise inadequacies rather than nutrition inadequacies because good bone quality suggests good underlying chemical composition that would have to have ties to nutrient processing. But I can also recognize that diet and exercise go hand in hand with trying to improve overall bone health.
@soggymoggytravels the osteocollective (optimal human health)community especially using slack really helps with questions like this. My learning tells me it's not that simple to take a good REMS result equalling a nutrition standard because of so many factors involved in good bone health such as hormone optimization for example. A good REMS won't tell you if you are losing or building bone currently for example also, CTX and P1NP among other blood tests will tell you that. REMS is a snapshot but not telling you detail of where you are going right or wrong. That's my learning following Dr. Doug. I hope that helps. Good luck on your health journey.
Generally, I like to take my vitamins and mineral supplements separately because I can control the amounts. I usually concentrate on supplements that I can’t get easily from foods like magnesium, D3 and K2. I do take a Silica complex with silica from horsetail, also containing boron, manganese, zinc and a bit of calcium citrate.

Thank you for this. All healthy food choices! Good to know about the association with bone health.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
Are you still recommending AlgaeCal?
Hi! Yes, checkout the latest video on my channel called "New Study REVEALS the Shocking Truth About Collagen and Bone Health!"

Thank you for sharing your balanced approach to nutrition! Keep up the great work in supporting your health!

P.s.How can you possibly not like papaya? :)
Haha, I know, right? Papaya seems to be a favorite for many, but it's just not my personal taste!
