Antidepressant Medication is Linked to Increased Bone Loss
SSRI medication (Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft) has been linked by three recent studies to a significant increase in the rate of bone loss in individuals over 50 taking these medications, including an increased risk of fracture. These antidepressants are amongst Big Pharma's best selling drugs – and many of their side effects are underreported. It is not a coincidence that Psychiatrists are at the top of the handout list for Big Pharma gifts.

There is no shortcut to bone health. It requires a lifetime of eating well, exercising, and utilizing high quality bone support nutrition to support optimal function of bone.
