Better Bones Foundation

Geriatric fracture reduction and the special nutrient needs of the elderly

Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhDby Dr. Susan E. Brown, PhD

Research on geriatric bone health from the Better Bones Foundation

Current research now documents that the elderly often exhibit special, unmet nutrient needs, which contribute significantly to their increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. This secondary research project compiles and reanalyzes this data towards an end goal of proposing updated nutrition guidelines for the osteoporotic elderly population.

At the Better Bones Foundation we promote an all-natural approach to bone health based on the latest research and through consultation, education and outreach.

"My gut told me Fosamax was wrong."
Lee Anne, a registered nurse, considers herself a very healthy person overall, so she was upset when her gynecologist suggested she start taking Fosamax. Her local health food store recommended Dr. Brown’s book, so Lee Anne read it. She was “blown away” by its optimism and logical approach to bone health.
