The Gut Bone Axis

Nutritional status from childhood through to early adulthood, periods of bone growth and development, have lasting effects on bone health status. Poor nutrition may compromise the achievement of peak bone mass thus causing an earlier bone loss in an individual. However, new breakthroughs are showing that the gut microbiome may be a potential way to reinforce nutrition, and in turn bone strength. Learn more about the gut-bone axis, its mechanism of action, and the possible opportunities it presents for improving bone strength in this infographic.
