How BONIVA Works

Up to about the age of 30, your body deposits more calcium into your bones than it takes from them. Estrogen also helps keep calcium in your bones throughout your reproductive life. But when estrogen decreases in the first few years after menopause, your bones can weaken and suffer rapid loss of calcium.

BONIVA is designed to decrease activity of the cells that cause bone loss after menopause, with just one tablet a month. BONIVA helps slow or stop the natural processes that dissolve bone tissue; it binds with and stays in your bones throughout the month.

In fact, BONIVA is clinically proven to not only maintain bone density, but actually works with your body to help reverse bone loss. In clinical studies, 9 out of 10 women had improved bone density after 1 year on BONIVA.*

Ask your healthcare provider if BONIVA is right for you, and find out how to get one month free.

*Bone density measured at the lumbar spine, total hip, or trochanter; 3 out of 4 at the femoral neck.
