The
strength of your bones should be one of your top priorities as early
in your life as possible. Optimal
prevention practices can include exercise and good nutrition.
Developing
good, solid bone structure and density early in your life can be
a tremendous benefit to you in later years. The stronger your bones
are earlier in your life, the better chance you stand of not developing
poor bone structure later on.
WHAT
WE CAN DO FOR YOU...
OsteoCheck
is an easy-to-use, safe, and reliable screen to help determine the
status of your bones. This noninvasive and inexpensive screen provides
the accuracy of a laboratory analysis without you having to leave
the comfort of your own home. Using a urine sample, OsteoCheck
assesses a key bone marker, deoxypyridinium (D-Pyd), a collagen
crosslink, that appears in urine in greater amounts as bones lose
strength. When you order your screen, we'll send a complete kit
to you. You collect the required urine sample and send it back to
us in the prepaid return mailer provided. Within 7-10 working days
of receiving your sample, we'll send your results to you.
WHAT
YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF...
BodyBalance
enables you to read your results and compare them to the general
population. You can then work with your healthcare provider to develop
an appropriate program to maintain and promote well being.
WHAT
TO DO NOW...
Ordering is as simple as our screens. In fact, you can order your
screens right here on our website. Your screens will be delivered
to you within a few days, helping you on your way to achieving optimal
well being.
