10 Benefits of Thyme
Thyme Benefit #4: Promotes Bone Health
Increasing consumption of herbs is a beneficial approach in promoting bone health and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Research suggests that the use of common herbs, including thyme, can inhibit the breakdown of bone in osteoporosis. Thyme is also one of the richest sources of calcium and magnesium, which are essential in bone health.
One study examined osteoporosis and bone mass reduction in women. The study examined treatment with thyme and its effect compared to treatment with Calcium plus vitamin D3. They found that there was a significant reduction in mean serum ionized calcium with the group treated with thyme as well as the group treated with calcium supplementation.
