Methods and compositions for treating and preventing osteoporosis are disclosed. Osteoporosis is prevented and treated by administering an effective amount of a composition to a patient. The composition may be prepared from New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) and may comprise one or more proteins, amino acids, minerals, sterol esters, sterols, polar lipids, triglycerides, fats, lipids, fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) derived from the mussel. The active ingredients in the composition include one or more of an octadecatetraenoic acid (SDA), an eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), an eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Methods and compositions for preventing and treating osteoporosis

Calcareous materials which are very purified residues of corallinaceae particulary Lithothamnium corallioides have unusual therapeutic properties including treatment of conditions created by failure of immune regulation, for example rheumatoid or osteo arthritis, osteoporosis and other conditions involving pH control. A method for purification is provided. Also provided are compositions of the residues together with fatty acids, glycerides, polyglycols and emulsifiers. Particularly advantageous are compositions of the residues and medium chain triglycerides.
