Evenity

Evenity is a preventative treatment designed to slow down and even reverse risk of bone fracture in women post-menopause who develop osteoporosis.

After menopause, the body may lose more bone than it can create (osteoporosis), resulting in bones being brittle and increaseing the risk factors for fracture from even slight stress. Osteoporosis occurs with high frequency in women after the onset of menopause. Statistics show that up to one-half of all women over the age of fifty will, at some point, suffer bone fractures due to osteoporosis. After that, you are five times more likely to suffer another fracture within a year.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is progressive and will continue and get worse if not treated. Osteoporosis is a silent condition that will only show up as a break. Evenity is an anabolic treatment that’s unique because it’s the only one that works to treat osteoporosis by slowing down bone cell loss and boost new cell formation.
