Osteoporosis-related vertebral compression fractures can reduce lung capacity by up to 9% per fracture. The resulting kyphosis (forward curve) compresses the chest cavity and limits diaphragm movement.
As thoracic vertebrae compress, the ribcage collapses forward. The diaphragm cannot fully descend. Lung expansion is mechanically restricted. This is a structural breathing limitation that no medication can fully reverse.
Weight-bearing exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D, fall prevention and bone density screening after 65 (earlier with risk factors).
Lungora does not contain calcium or vitamin D. Magnesium supports bone health indirectly. If bone density is a concern, dedicated bone health supplementation alongside our formula is appropriate.
