Our seniors fall. Their bodies fail. They get hurt.

Can vitamin supplemnts help?

Studies conducted at Virginia Tech are determining the reasons why seniors fall. Millions of our seniors fall each year causing broken hips and other major injuries. It is a serious problem -- 2.2 million seniors need medical attention, one in ten falls causes serious injury and there are 340,000 broken hips reported annually.

Risk factors to falling and getting hurt include a person's age, a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing up; arthritis; muscle strength; balance; declining vision, dementia; and using multiple prescription medicines, especially certain antidepressants and epilepsy or heart medications that affect balance.

"The signs are common," says Mr. Richards, president of Biotrex Vitamins, "Stiffening joints, backaches, difficulty in getting out of bed in the morning. Ever increasing use of pain killers like ibuprofen in the morning and maybe a few throughout the day to keep you going. The stresses associated with getting older are hard on your body and even harder emotionally."

Biotrex produces a small line of nutriceuticals which are Vitamins, Minerals and Botanicals that are carefully blended into specific formulas that are designed to help people overcome problems.

Biotrex Senior+ Joint Repair formula contains a blend of 26 vitamins, minerals and botanicals that are designed to help repair joints. Taken on a regular basis, a senior's joints may become easier to flex, their backs might ache a bit less. It also includes botanicals that have been known to help increase blood flow, increasing oxygenation.

"Our goal has been to put everything a person may need into one easy-to-take tablet. We know that people can save a lot of money that way and it is so easy to take -- you only have to remember one nutritional tablet. Why buy 26 different vitamins when we've blended what you need into one? We try to make everything simple. You can even print the ingredients lists so you can compare our product with the competition or consult with a healthcare provider if you aren't certain. We want people to feel good and remain healthy for as long as they can."
