Osteoarthritis is the most common form. It is the kind that seems to come with the wear-and-tear process of aging, affecting approximately 70 to 80% of the population over age 50. The onset is marked by morning stiffness, crackling joints, and perhaps some pain. As it gets worse it causes discomfort, pain, and disability in varying degrees for millions of people. It also causes an enormous consumption of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs that many times have undesirable long-term effects. (Life Extension Foundation)

Osteoporosis (Prevention is key...)Osteoporosis is a debilitating, costly, and difficult-to-treat decline in bone density that occurs primarily in postmenopausal females. It causes a progressive marked reduction in bone mineral density that often results in fractures of a serious nature. Most commonly these are spinal and hip fractures. Osteoporosis is a major public health issue for over 28 million Americans, 80% of whom are women. It is estimated that in the United States today, 10 million individuals already have osteoporosis and 18 million more probably have a low bone density, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis in later years.
