Hello NH33,

We are located in Oakland, CA; However, we have a network of trained Peer Educators nationwide.

At the moment, our closest Peer Educator that is located in Ohio is at Uniontown, OH. We are hoping to grow and expand our network further to reach out to communities like yours!

Sincerely,

Martha

I am looking for some information on the juvent plate

Can you help me with the information

[MClem in reply to NH33]

Dear NH33,

We are happy to answer any of your bone health related questions!

The Juvent Plate is what we would classify as a vibration platform. American Bone Health (ABH) published a BONESENSE on this topic in the year of 2014, but since then, not much has changed. Recent peer-reviewed research studies have shown no significant benefits (i.e. increase in bone density, balance, and muscle strength and metabolism) from using vibration platforms. Please refer to this link to read more about what ABH has to say about Vibration Platforms --

We also reached out to Juvent Plate's Advisor and asked them if their product is currently FDA approved and was directed to the answer outlined for you below.

"* Purchased at list price. The JUVENT® Micro-Impact Platform® is Registered as a Class I medical device for exercise and rehabilitation.

(1) In the US it is considered investigational for the treatment of osteoporosis or improvement/maintenance of bone mineral density and our claims have not been cleared by the FDA to treat any disease or condition.

This is the same statement found on their website when you scroll all the way down to the bottom.

We hope that this helps!
