Case:Bone density
Journal of Applied Nutrition. 53, 1-6 (2003)
【Objective】
We examined an increment of bone density by ingestion of the
OM-X capsules in healthy adult males and females.
【Methods】
We divided test subjects into two groups: a group with an
intake of the OM-X capsules and the other without the OM-X capsules. After a
certain period of time, we measured the bone densities of subjects in each
group. The bone density measurements were
analyzed based on the volume of bone mineral content in the humerus and ulna at
the test subjects’ non-dominant hand, bone mass, and the ratio of bone areas
and bone mass.
【Results】
Overall, male subjects in the group given the OM-X capsules
showed about 20% higher scores in bone density compared to those without the
OM-X capsules. Female subjects with the OM-X capsules showed 12% higher scores
than those without the OM-X capsules. The same tendency was observed in every
aging group.
In the aspect of bone areas, the group with the OM-X capsule
also showed higher values.
These
results suggested that an intake of the OM-X capsules is effective at increasing
bone density and bone area regardless of age or gender.
