Bone Health Risks

Glucocorticoids, such as prednisone, can significantly impact bone density by increasing the lifespan of bone-breaking cells and causing calcium deficits. Additionally, commonly prescribed SSRI's may negatively affect bone mineral density and fracture risk, a fact often overlooked by healthcare providers. Long-term use of antacids can further exacerbate nutrient deficiencies essential for bone health, highlighting the importance of proper stomach acid levels for nutrient absorption.
