VITAMIN B FOR OLDER WOMEN’S SPINES

After menopause plasma homocysteine rises and raises the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis for women. Folic acid (vitamin B9) decreases the homocysteine levels (and the associated risks for disease). (2) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is concerned with heart and bone health, too! Low levels of B vitamins are associated with a higher risk of degenerative diseases like osteoporosis.

B12 and THCY may modify osteoclasts or osteoblasts or modulate collagen cross-linking in bone health. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) assists the body in maintaining normal nerve function. (4) Bone health and nerve function are surely integral to spine health and Baton Rouge back pain occurrence. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers observes it every day!
