Give Your Patients Prednisone Support

Apply Below and Dr. Megan will respond with the next steps.

1. Evidence-Based Medicine

ZONE follows the American College of Rheumatology Guideline for the Prevention and Treatment of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis which states:

“All adults taking prednisone at a dose of ≥2.5 mg/day for ≥3 months [should] optimize calcium intake… and vitamin D intake…”⁷

2. Nutrient Replenishment

ZONE is designed to give back the 10 nutrients depleted by prednisone.

• Prednisone use is associated with depletion of calcium, vitamin D, chromium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, folic acid, and vitamins A & C.^3,8

3. Relief

ZONE ingredients counter the negative aspects of prednisone.

• The #1 complaint of prednisone patients is weight gain.⁹ Glucocorticoids are the most common cause of drug-induced diabetes.¹⁰
  • ZONE contains chromium picolinate,^11-12 berberine,¹³ calcium¹⁴ and cinnamon¹⁵ to help stabilize blood sugars and prevent hunger cravings.
• The #1 tweeted side effect to prednisone is ¹⁶
  • ZONE contains melatonin which is depleted by prednisone.¹⁷ Melatonin helps patients sleep more restfully.¹⁸

Benefits

• Based on clinical evidence, each ingredient targets at least one nutrient stolen by prednisone.*
• Prednisone steals calcium and vitamin D. ZONE contains calcium and vitamin D which are essential for good bone health. Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life.
• Because some prednisone nutrient changes are worse at night and some are worse in the day, ZONE is taken twice daily, at bedtime for nighttime depletion and in the morning for daytime depletion.
• ZONE contains melatonin, which can help with occasional sleeplessness. Melatonin can also help maintain a steady mood.*
• Several ingredients in ZONE can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.*
• Chromium picolinate (Chromax™) can help keep a normal appetite.*
• People taking prednisone need to avoid allergens and substances that can make their condition worse. ZONE is made in the best facility with clean ingredients.
• ZONE counterbalances the effects of prednisone in depleting nutrients or interfering with the metabolism of nutrients.*
