COMPOSITION FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
Technical Field
This invention relates to a composition and to the preparation of a composition, for use in the prophylaxis or treatment of osteoporosis in mammals, including humans.
Background Art
Osteoporosis is a metabolic borye disease characterised by a micro- architectural deterioration of bone tissue and a loss of bone mass/density that results in increased bone fragility. The lifetime risk of osteoporotic bone fractures is approximately 40% in women and approximately 15% in men.
The risk of bone fractures due to an increased bone fragility increases with age, if the underlying osteoporosis is not treated. Prevention of osteoporosis is therefore the most preferred strate gy in overcoming the disease.
It is known that calcium is the single most important component in bone tissue. A calcium deficiency in the blood plasma or insufficient uptake of calcium from the blood plasma into bone could therefore lead to osteoporosis.
