Scientific Evidence

Alendronate sodium, the active ingredient in Alendon-10, is a bisphosphonate that works by inhibiting bone resorption. Clinical studies have shown that alendronate effectively increases bone mineral density and reduces the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

Research published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research demonstrated that alendronate treatment for up to 10 years significantly reduced the incidence of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures compared to a placebo group.
