Bone remodeling:
Your body’s built-in repair system

Vibration therapy works by activating your body’s natural cycle of removing old bone and building new bone—a process called remodeling.
Illustration of bone remodeling with osteoclasts and osteoblasts
Bone resorption
Small areas of old, calcified bone tissue are removed, or resorbed, by one type of bone cell, the osteoclast.
Bone formation
After the old bone tissue is removed, a second type of bone cell, the osteoblast, moves in to lay down new bone tissue.
Bone mineralization
Over time, the new bone tissue absorbs calcium and becomes mineralized.

What causes bone loss—and why it accelerates after menopause

From birth to our 20s, the bone remodeling process balances in the favor of building new bone. Bone resorption happens more slowly than bone formation, resulting in net new bone mass.

By your mid 30s, the scales tilt again. Bone resorption accelerates, and bone formation slows.

Bone mass loss is particularly severe for women after menopause. The rapid reduction in estrogen production causes osteoclasts to remove much more bone than osteoblasts lay down. This results in a high loss of bone mass, making postmenopausal women especially at risk for devastating bone fractures.

Postmenopausal rats showed increased bone formation and size after 4–8 weeks of daily vibration.

From NASA to your home: The science behind Osteoboost

In space, astronauts can lose up to 2% of bone density in their hips and spine every month due to the lack of gravity. That alarming rate of bone loss led NASA-funded researchers to explore vibration therapy as a safe, mechanical way to stimulate bones.

Osteoboost builds on that foundation, applying the same core principles of mechanical stimulation to reduce bone loss at home. The device delivers patented, precision-targeted vibration—calibrated in real time—to the spine and hips, the areas most vulnerable to life-altering fractures.

Osteoboost is clinically proven to slow bone loss

Osteoboost was tested in a 12-month, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial—and the results speak for themselves.

85%

reduction in vertebral bone density loss
Women using Osteoboost at least 3 times per week lost 85% less bone density in the spine compared to the control group.

83%

reduction in vertebral bone strength loss
Women using Osteoboost at least 3 times per week lost 83% less bone strength in the spine compared to the control group.

55%

reduction in hip bone density loss
Women using Osteoboost at least 3 times per week lost 55% less bone density in the hip compared to the control group.
