Technological advances and greater investment in medicine have contributed to an increase in life expectancy.
Still, We have to analyze how this could impact everyone’s future. The elderly population is affected by diseases such as osteoporosis and, according to the USP newspaper, in the year of 2030 Brazil will have the fifth oldest population in the world.
It is estimated that the US spends around 20 billions of dollars to combat this disease, me and europe, about, 37 billion euros.
Although it is more common in the elderly, osteoporosis is not a disease exclusive to this group.
Bone mass begins to progressively decrease from age 35 years old, which can lead to cases of osteopenia, an earlier stage of osteoporosis.
Menopausal women suffer greatly from bone loss and, even athletes who suffer injuries, may spend more time away from training due to the delay in bone recovery.
In order to bring longevity and quality of life, in addition to helping to prevent this disease, a Tovani Benzaquen, in partnership with the German Gelita, offers bioactive collagen peptides Tendoforte® e Fortibone®, ingredients for specific actions on bones and tendons.
O Tendoforte® is a bioactive collagen peptide with actions focused on improving the health of tendons and ligaments.
It acts mainly to stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which increases the strength and elasticity of tendons and ligaments, improving the quality of movement in sports practices such as: run, slow down, land and jump.
Additionally, it minimizes the risk of injury and aids recovery in the event of a breakage.
Already the Fortibone®, which is also characterized as a bioactive collagen peptide, has action on bone health and recovery.
It mainly works by stimulating bone cells to increase collagen matrix synthesis, simulating the natural formation of collagen in bones, which increases bone density.
A study was carried out at the University of Freiburg, in Germany, with a group of 131 women in the postmenopausal period.
They were divided into two groups, one of them was supplemented with the Fortibone® and another with placebo.
It was noticed that the bone density of the spine and femur increased in the group supplemented with the bioactive peptide and decreased in the group supplemented with placebo..
O Tendoforte® and the Fortibone® are strong allies in the search for longevity and quality of life, it's at Tovani Benzaquen, which always seeks to provide health and well-being for the Brazilian population through innovative solutions, is a strong partner for a healthier future.
