Numerous recent breakthroughs in bone biology point to the simple fact that a variety of nutrients can be utilized by bone to stabilize natural function and maintain a healthy balance between bone-building osteoblasts and bone-demolition osteoclasts. The nutrients that help promote the friendly and healthy balance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts all fall under the category of antioxidants/anti-inflammatories. When there is a lack of these nutrients that the expression of excessive amounts of NF-kappaB activates which drives the excessive production of osteoclasts from their precursor cells.
