Bone loss itself does not necessarily show any specific symptom but it renders the body at a much bigger risk of bone fractures (e.g., hip, wrist, spine) due to the poor bone structure. A common sign of bone loss is curvature or shortened stature in older people, or even hunchback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBone mass is the result of a balance between the opposite bone resorption and bone formation. In the body, bone undergoes a constant turnover in which osteoclast cells remove its mineralized matrix whereas osteoblast cells deposit the new bone matrix. In the aging process, bone resorption becomes more dominant over bone formation. For example, estrogen has a function in inhibiting bone resorption and lack of estrogen (e. g., as a result of menopause) thus increases the loss of bone matrix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), bones are governed by the kidneys, a primary source of essence of life and of the Yin and Yang energy. Thus, a strong kidney function provides ample nutrients that promote a robust formation of bones. Strengthening the kidney function is considered to be a main principle in TCM to support bone health. Chinese herbal formulas that follow the principle achieved satisfactory results in increasing bone mass in clinical studies in China. BoneVigor is our signature formula that follows the principle for promoting bone health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea fruit) tonifies the kidneys, strengthens the Yang energy, reserves the essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Gu Sui Bu (Drynaria) nourishes the kidneys and is well known among Chinese medicines for its property in promoting bone formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Du Zhong (Eucommia) is a popular tonic for both the liver and the kidneys.
