Ostera 60 tablets

About Ostera

Ostera is a formula of the Metagenics Women’s Health product line that provides essential nutrients and highly specialized bioactive molecules called selective kinase response modulators (SMRMs) which help support normal bone function. In addition, this scientifically advanced product contributes to the normal bone remodeling during the post-menopausal times and the aging process due to its ingredients, such as berberine. At the same time, Ostera provides vitamins K and D for extra bone support.

It should be noted that all of the natural ingredients included in the blend carry excellent safety profiles, which makes the product exceptionally safe to use. Also, key compounds have been developed with the pioneering ExpressSyn Process that has been evidenced to ensure natural products’ bioavailability, efficacy, and supreme levels of predicted safety.

How does Ostera Work?

Ostera is classified as a nutraceutical product, which means that it can complement exercise and diet recommendations to foster a healthy bone function to women going through post-menopause. Its ingredients help strengthen the bone architecture that holds minerals, calcium, and other chemical elements and nutrients. However, it is not a calcium-containing bone health formula rather than a product that is manufactured to complement to your physician’s recommendations for calcium supplementation. Its uniqueness, though, lies in the fact that it is probably the only nutritional formula that targets the support of normal bone remodeling and post-menopausal bone support. It owes this remarkable ability to the plant-based compounds that form the SMRMs (i.e., hops, acacia), which are proven to play a vital role in chronic illnesses as they have the ability to modulate specific cell signaling pathways; a mechanism of action that is nowhere else to be found among therapeutics.

Importance of Bone Remodeling

One of the most critical functions of bones is to respond to the body’s needs for calcium (when these arise) by sending calcium into the bloodstream with the help of specialized cells called osteoclasts, which break down bone so that calcium can be freed. Then, another type of cells called osteoblasts come into play, remaking the bone by secreting new bone and depositing calcium into it. This process is called bone remodeling. Therefore, during the bone remodeling process, any damaged or old bone tissue (yes, bones are living tissues) is removed while new tissue is being built.

As we age this procedure slows down. The reduced production of estrogen that usually happens during menopause also contributes to the decline in the bone remodeling process. Finally, an unhealthy lifestyle combined with an age-related increase in cytokines, which are responsible for several activities within the body, also plays a crucial role in the obstruction of normal bone remodeling, preventing the body from repairing micro-damages in bone matrix.

Studies have shown, though, that the SKRMs in Ostera help maintain the normal function of bone remodeling while also influencing the quality of bone structure positively and providing essential nutrition to the body to keep the bones healthy. In fact, taking Ostera is proven to be more effective than exercise and diet alone in affecting (beneficially) the markers of bone remodeling in women with low estrogen levels during menopause.

Ostera Ingredients:

Vitamin D – It is essential for strong muscles and bones. With vitamin D, the body can absorb calcium effectively; hence, contributing to good bone health and preventing skeletal deformities and fractures.

Vitamin K – It plays a vital role in keeping calcium out of the arteries and in the bones while reducing the risk of arterial calcification. It is also responsible for regulating blood calcium levels, bone metabolism, and blood clotting.

Berberine HCI – A bioactive compound that is found to help lower cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, and high blood pressure, reduce infections, depression, the risk of heart disease, and help with joint problems and low bone density issues, among many others.

Other ingredients: Reduced Iso-alpha acids complex, coating (hydroxyprolycellulose, medium chain triglycerides, and hypromelose), silica, calcium silicate, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, microcrystalline cellulose.

Additional Notes:

• Combined with regular exercise and a low-glycemic-load diet, Ostera can deliver beneficial results within 12 weeks. However, consult your healthcare provider for precise instructions per your case.
• Ostera is NOT intended as a substitute for bone density support (bone mineralization).
• The recommended serving size is one tablet two times a day unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare professional.
• The formula may also be recommended for men where appropriate.
• The product is gluten-free and non-GMO.
• Always consult your healthcare practitioner before taking any nutritional or dietary supplement if you are taking medications or are pregnant or lactating.
• Keep the product stored in a dry, cool place, away from the reach of children.
