In Traditional Chinese Medicine, bone health is traditionally associated with Kidney and Liver function, since the Kidney is traditionally said to store the jing (essence) that nourishes the bones. Osteo 8 is designed to help tonify the Kidney and Liver as a complementary traditional support alongside your physician's guidance on bone health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e⚠️ Important:\u003c\/b\u003e Use with caution in patients with excess conditions or heat accumulation, or damp-heat in the lower jiao. Contains Dang Gui, which invigorates blood circulation — those on anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy such as warfarin should use with caution or avoid this formula. The safety of Dang Gui in individuals with hormone-dependent cancer is unclear — use with caution pending further study.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eClinical Applications \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOsteo 8 is traditionally used to help support comfort during:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAge-related bone density concerns, including osteoporosis, as a complementary support alongside physician-guided care\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSoreness, weakness, and pain in the bones, lower back, and knees\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecovery from bone fractures, alongside appropriate medical care\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnyone with osteoporosis or a bone fracture should be under the care of a physician for diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning.
