Action:
Manages osteoporosis: Phytoestrogens in Reosto inhibit bone resorption (breaking down of bones). Reosto also negates the bone resorptive effects of parathyroid hormones and prostaglandins. The drug is rich in elemental calcium, which helps in better bioavailability of the mineral. This allows the optimum amount of mineral to be absorbed into the bone. Reosto stimulates bone formation and prevents the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
Anti-inflammatory: Due to its anti-inflammatory action, Reosto alleviates swelling and pain associated with bone fractures and osteoporosis.
Ayurveda texts and modern research back the following facts:
Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and contains a bioactive compound required for calcium absorption. Ensuring optimum bioavailability of calcium is imperative for bone tissue growth and repair in the body.
Indian Bdellium (Guggulu) helps in the remineralization of bones, increases bone mineral density (BMD) and supports connective tissues. Its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties are beneficial in alleviating bone pain.
