Balanced Hormones Promote Bone & Joint Health
Hormones play an important role in bone health as we age. Testosterone and estrogen are both integral to ensuring proper bone and joint health. Hormone imbalance can lead to a rise in inflammation, which can exacerbate joint discomfort.

For women, menopause may exacerbate issues related to a loss in bone mineral density and increased joint pain. A 2008 study on a test group of women tracked joint discomfort during hormonal shifts associated with hormones. The study found that symptoms decreased during pregnancy and the post-ovulatory portion of the female menstrual cycle when progesterone and estrogen levels are at their highest.
