Girls should pay attention to supplementing bones and muscles when they are young.

After menopause,
the loss of estrogen will take away 40% of calcium and muscle.
There will be symptoms like leg muscle pain, fragile bones, bones as brittle as crackers.
Recently, I read the book "Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity."
It is a modern medical framework recommended by doctors at Peking Union Medical College.
I used Claude to help me interpret.
It mentions:
Because of a misjudgment in medical experimental data by the U.S. government,
the most effective estrogen therapy for women going through menopause was shelved for 20 years.
As a result, modern medicine faces
a long painful phase for women during menopause (20 years).
The medical community is completely unprepared with solutions.
Recently, my mom’s estrogen deficiency during menopause
caused severe calcium loss. Bones became fragile.
She previously broke her leg. I was worried.
I looked at the prescriptions given by regular doctors,
and I was immediately overwhelmed.
Anti-inflammatory drugs, traditional Chinese medicine 🌿???
(My inner monologue: typical palliative treatment, not addressing the root cause)
Then I bought Thoren’s vitamin D➕K2
and Thoren’s calcium, to direct calcium into the bones.
Later, my mom’s bone condition improved a lot. But she can’t resist estrogen loss, which still takes away calcium.
I’ll take my mom to Beijing Union Medical College Hospital to check.
The most effective estrogen treatment is completely a blind spot in many grassroots hospitals;
even doctors are prescribing randomly. Only at top-tier hospitals like Peking Union can you get a proper assessment. I am truly speechless.
This big show called the world,
it’s complicated and hard to treat. The later you start, the more troublesome it becomes.
I hope everyone can pay attention to their mom’s menopause situation.
