TL;DR Summary

The FDA has approved Osteoboost, a vibrating belt developed by Bone Health Technologies and NASA, as a medication-free treatment option for post-menopausal women with weakened bones. The belt, worn for 30 minutes daily, mechanically stimulates bone strength in the hips and spine, preventing further bone density disintegration. Clinical trials showed improved bone density in patients, offering a promising alternative to current lifestyle interventions. Osteoboost is expected to be available for pre-order later this year, with pricing and insurance coverage still being determined.
