Two chinese herbal remedies - Bushen Jiangu (BJ) and Bushen Migu Ye (BMY) - were found to reverse post-menopausal bone loss more effectively than a calcium-based preparation.*

In the Bushen Jiangu trial ...

• After three months 92% of the patients had improved

• After six months the bone density of the lumbar vertebrae of 69% of the patients was significantly higher than before treatment

• The calcium-treatment control group patients had lost bone density

In the BMY trial ...

• After five months the patients had increased bone density

• The calcium-treatment control group patients had lost bone density

Confirming the measured effect, the ratio of fasting urinary calcium and hydroxyproline to creatinine was lower than before treatment showing that less calcium was leaching from the body.
