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.
