Medical Cannabis for Osteoporosis — Switzerland 2026

The CB2 receptor plays a documented role in bone remodeling. CBD as add-on to bisphosphonates is increasingly researched — members save on consultation.

~400,000 people in Switzerland live with osteoporosis. CB2 inhibits osteoclasts and stimulates osteoblasts. Preclinically (Ofek 2006, Idris 2008) and small human studies 2020–2024: CBD can slow bone density loss and accelerate callus formation after fractures. Add-on to bisphosphonates, not replacement. Members: 50 CHF instead of 190.

What the studies show

Ofek 2006 (PNAS): CB2-knockout mice develop accelerated osteoporosis — proof of endogenous regulation.

Kogan 2015 (Bone): CBD accelerates fracture healing by 35–50 % in rat models.
