AB - Objective: Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease affecting approximately 200 million individuals worldwide. It is characterized by low bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, increased bone fragility, and an elevated risk of fracture. Undertreatment of patients with osteoporosis remains a significant clinical concern, as many individuals fail to receive appropriate medical management even after being diagnosed with osteoporotic fractures.
Case Report: This case involved a Korean female in her 60s who reported worsening osteoporosis associated with hypothyroidism and menopause. Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT), including calcium, vitamin D, collagen, and vitamin C, was administered. As a result, an increase in bone mineral density (BMD) was observed, and the T-score was confirmed to fall within the normal range.
Conclusion: Improvement in bone mineral density was observed following approximately one year of OCNT; however, as this intervention was a personalized prescription applied to a single patient, there are limitations in generalizing the findings to all patients with osteoporosis. Nevertheless, the increase in bone mineral density without notable adverse effects suggests clinically meaningful outcomes, and this case is therefore reported.
