Stronger bones thanks to heat and microbiota

Osteoporosis is characterized by a deterioration of the bones and an increased risk of fractures. With one third of postmenopausal women affected, it is a major public health problem.

This phenomenon is linked to a change in the composition of gut microbiota and makes hopes for osteoporosis treatments.
