Osteonecrosis

Avascular necrosis (AVN)

Osteonecrosis is a disease caused by reduced blood flow to bones in the joints. With too little blood, the bone starts to die and may break down. Osteonecrosis is also referred to as avascular necrosis, or AVN. In people with healthy bones, new bone is always replacing old bone, which keeps bones strong. In osteonecrosis, bone breaks down faster than the body can make enough strong, new bone. If you do not get treatment, the disease worsens and the bones in the joints break down. Due to the Dual Action of NB S101, and its documented ability to naturally balance bone metabolism in a way that favours strong bone development, it is believed NB S101 may be a useful therapy for AVN. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases conservatively estimate that 10,000-20,000 people in US develop AVN every year, with a national prevalence of approximately 45,000-150,000.
