Treating Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis  at Home

Osteoporosis is a growing health concern for millions of Filipinos – especially the elderly, postmenopausal women, and those at risk of age-related bone loss. In this exclusive interview, we had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Ted Herbosa – Secretary of the Department of Health of the Philippines – to hear his views on this worrying condition, as well as introduce a new approach to supporting bone health that is gaining attention: a method that helps maintain bone strength from within.

Reporter:
Sir, according to your speech, the current state of osteoporosis is really serious. So what do you think are the main causes of this condition, sir?

Dr. Ted Herbosa: There are many reasons why people can get this disease. For example:











In particular, for Filipinos, not going for early bone health screenings and overlooking the initial signs of bone loss can allow osteoporosis to progress unnoticed, increasing the risk of severe bone weakness and fractures that become more difficult to manage.

Reporter:  Sir, could you please share more about the current situation of osteoporosis, as well as the potential health risks if not treated properly?

Dr. Ted Herbosa: "We are currently witnessing a growing concern about osteoporosis, especially among people aged 40 and over. This condition is characterized by a gradual loss of bone density and strength, making bones more fragile and increasing the risk of fractures. It is particularly common in postmenopausal women and older adults.

The initial stages often have no obvious symptoms. Many people do not realize they have osteoporosis until they experience a fracture, a loss of height, persistent back pain or changes in posture. Without early screening and proper management, bone density can continue to decline, making even minor falls or everyday activities potentially dangerous.

A common mistake is that people often wait until they experience pain or suffer a fracture before seeking medical attention. However, osteoporosis is a silent condition, and the absence of pain does not mean that bones are healthy. Early bone density testing and appropriate medical guidance are essential for identifying and managing the condition.

If left unmanaged, the consequences can be serious. Patients may experience fractures of the hip, spine or wrist, sometimes even after a minor fall. Hip fractures can lead to prolonged hospitalization, reduced mobility and loss of independence. Spinal fractures can cause chronic back pain, loss of height and a hunched posture.

Not only that, fractures and reduced mobility can also affect psychological well-being. Patients may develop anxiety, fear of falling, prolonged inactivity and social isolation. These problems can further reduce muscle strength, increase the risk of additional falls and make everyday activities more difficult.

Therefore, managing osteoporosis requires more than simply waiting for symptoms to appear. Early screening, appropriate medical treatment, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, sufficient protein, and regular weight-bearing exercise all play important roles in maintaining bone health and reducing fracture risk – especially for older adults and people who are at high risk of osteoporosis."

Reporter: Dr. Herbosa, we understand that the cost of diagnosing and treating osteoporosis can be very high and often requires long-term management. Is there a new approach that is more affordable while still helping people maintain bone health and reduce the risk of fractures?

Dr. Ted Herbosa: The cost of managing osteoporosis can currently be a significant financial burden for many families. A patient with Osteoporosis may have to spend from 5,000 to 15,000 pesos per month on painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy, and even synovial fluid or stem cell injections into the joint. If the condition progresses, the cost of joint replacement surgery can be up to 300,000 to 800,000 pesos per case.

Given the growing number of people at risk of osteoporosis, we are promoting a more comprehensive approach—supporting bone health through specialized nutrition, rather than relying solely on conventional medical treatments. Healthcare experts emphasize the importance of nutritional formulations that provide essential nutrients—such as calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2,protein, notably the compounds NAD+ and NMN —to maintain bone strength. Specialized dairy products like MegaJoint+ can serve as a nutritional support solution, helping to maintain bone health and complementing a balanced diet. This approach is particularly beneficial for older adults or individuals with sensitivities who may not tolerate conventional medications well..

To understand why MegaJoint+ is considered a new approach to supporting bone health, helping people – including the elderly – nourish and strengthen their bones from within. With regular use of MegaJoint+, it can help provide essential nutrients to support bone strength and maintain bone health:

MegaJoint+ is recommended by the Philippine Department of Health for use by the population. With rare natural ingredients and a special milk formula combined with modern biotechnology, it provides a specialized nutritional solution for people with bone and joint problems.

🦴 1. Collagen Type II (Hydrolyzed) - Pain relief, joint softening, cartilage regeneration support
Collagen Type II is an essential component that creates the structure of joint cartilage, making joints softer, more elastic and flexible. In hydrolyzed form, Collagen is easily absorbed, penetrates deep into joint tissue to help reduce inflammation and pain, support softening and restoring damaged cartilage - especially in people with osteoarthritis. This is an important foundation to help patients move smoothly, with less pain every day.

🥚 2. Eggshell membrane extract - Relieves pain, reduces joint stiffness
Natural eggshell membrane is a "nutrient warehouse" containing Collagen, Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Hyaluronic Acid - all of which have the role of reducing inflammation, reducing stiffness and supporting smoother joint movement. Many users have noted a significant reduction in pain after only 1-2 weeks, especially in the morning when waking up or when the weather changes.

🌿 3. Boswellia Serrata Extract - Effective anti-inflammatory, pain relief
Boswellia (Indian frankincense) is famous for its strong anti-inflammatory effects, relieving joint pain without causing side effects like conventional pain relievers. By inhibiting the inflammatory enzyme (5-LOX), Boswellia helps to quickly reduce acute and chronic pain, improving the quality of life of people with arthritis and osteoporosis.

💧 4. Glucosamine (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) - Lubricates and softens joints
Glucosamine helps increase the production of synovial fluid - the natural "lubricant" of the joints. The easily absorbed N-Acetyl form helps reduce friction between the ends of bones, softens joints, limits pain when moving and unpleasant creaking sounds when moving.

☀️ 5. Vitamin D3 + K2 (MK-7) – Supports strong bones, reduces pressure on joints
The D3 – K2 duo helps calcium go to the right place – the bones, instead of accumulating in the blood vessels. When bones are strong, the joints are less loaded, thereby reducing pressure, inflammation and pain due to degeneration. This is the foundation for comprehensive support for the musculoskeletal system to operate stably over time.

MegaJoint+ is developed based on modern biotechnology combining clinical research in the US and Japan, applied in the treatment of bone and joint diseases. The product uses hydrolyzed Collagen Type II technology at a super small size, helping to absorb directly into cartilage and joint fluid - many times faster than conventional collagen.

The entire production process is strictly controlled according to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards and has been certified by the US FDA and European CE for biological safety and effectiveness. In addition, the active ingredients have been clinically tested on thousands of patients at major medical centers such as Cleveland Clinic (USA) and Tokyo Medical University (Japan).

Thanks to that, MegaJoint+ is not only a support product - but also a clinically proven nutritional solution, bringing real effectiveness in pain relief, cartilage restoration and improving the quality of life for patients with osteoarthritis.

Millions of Filipinos have achieved a healthy, flexible body

Your bones and joints deserve love and care

Charlotte Reyes, 69 – Iloilo

I refused Prolia in 2024. My doctor told me I could end up bedridden if I didn’t take the drug. I found this in January and decided to give it a try. Seven months later, my hip T-score moved from -2.8 to -2.4 — the first improvement I’d seen in years.

Miguel Santos, 62
– Zamboanga City

Lorena Cruz, 55 – Bohol

Working as a school librarian means I’m always on my feet—walking, bending, lifting books. Over time, my knees started aching so much that even simple tasks felt hard. I came across MegaJoint+ at a community health fair and decided to give it a try. By the fifth week, I was moving freely again—no more stiffness or pain. I could set up the new reading corner without needing to sit and rest every few minutes. It feels good to be active and confident at work again.

Ramon Diaz, 70 – Pampanga

After my hip replacement surgery, I feared I’d never regain full mobility. My doctor approved MegaJoint+ as a complement to my rehab. Within six weeks, I noticed less swelling around the joint and could climb into the car without using my hands. My follow‑up ultrasound even showed healthier surrounding tissue. I continue with two cups each day to protect my progress.

Beatriz Moreno, 58 – Cagayan de Oro

Years of time on my feet as a shopkeeper left my ankles and lower back chronically sore. A friend introduced me to MegaJoint+ during a DOH wellness drive. Just one month in, the dull ache had lifted, and my posture improved so much that my customers noticed I stood taller. I’ve now ordered the 10‑can pack to ensure my joint health stays strong for the long haul.

Adela Villanueva, 65 – Quezon Province

Chronic shoulder pain stole my joy of cooking for my grandchildren. Every time I reached into the pantry, sharp twinges reminded me of my age. After seeing an ad for MegaJoint+ at my local clinic, I started two cups each morning. Within four weeks, I could lift pots and pans without wincing, and my famous adobo is back on the menu. I feel like the grandmother I used to be.

Felix Navarro, 49 – Iloilo City

After a slip on the wet lobby floor, my knee pain turned from occasional to constant. Physical therapy helped only so much, and I dreaded the thought of knee surgery. A DOH outreach recommended MegaJoint+, and I gave it a shot. Two months later, my knee no longer swells, and I’m back to my daily walks along the Iloilo River Esplanade. It’s given me back my freedom.

Marina Santos, 72 – Davao del Sur

My back pain was so severe that tying my shoes became a chore. When my pastor mentioned MegaJoint+ after a Sunday service, I decided to try it. In just three weeks, I felt less stiffness each morning and more energy to tend my vegetable garden. By my fifth can, I was bending and stretching with ease. I thank MegaJoint+ for helping me stay active in my community church activities.
