Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD

Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD designs and conducts research and clinical pilot studies to explore the nutritional and lifestyle factors influencing bone health. These studies are often done in conjunction with the Better Bones Foundation (BBF), which she directs. BBF has researched, and continues to investigate, promising nutritional and lifestyle approaches to bone health development, maintenance, and regeneration.

Another large segment of BBF research focuses on acid-alkaline balance and bone. BBF is interested in further identifying the role that the requirement for acid-alkaline balance within the body plays in bone health, and conversely, the role that bone plays in the all-important maintenance of internal acid-alkaline balance.

Current additional areas of BBF research involve rethinking the impact of, and requirements for vitamin D; research into the pediatric origins of osteoporosis; and research into fracture reduction and special nutrient needs of the elderly.
