Support bone strenght and health...

Product Description:

This formula contains ingredients which are vital in maintaining bone strength and health with increasing age.

Product Details:

Supplementary Calcium is the mainstay for prevent and treating osteoporosis.  Adequate amounts in childhood and adolescence are essential for achieving peak bone mass.  Calcium supplementation may also delay bone loss in middle age.  Magnesium is becoming widely recognised for its role in preventing osteoporosis. It may also boost the effects of Calcium. Magnesium is involved in Calcium transport and seems to affect bone resorption and mineralization.  Manganese is essential for enzymatic activity required for bone formation. Bone mineral density seems to improve when trace minerals including Manganese are added to Calcium. 

Vitamin K deficiency may also result in osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures.  The mechanism of the possible anti-osteoporotic activity of Vitamin K is not completely understood but may involve osteocalcin, a Vitamin K-dependent protein which appears to act as a regulator of bone mineralization.

Zinc is concentrated in bone and muscle. It influences bone turnover by regulating the secretion of calcitonin from the thyroid gland. Zinc deficiency causes a reduction in osteoblastic activity and in the synthesis of collagen and chondroitin.  Boron is promoted to improve bone quality and strength. Boron might affect Calcium and Vitamin D metabolism or increase the effect of estrogen on bone.  Copper slows bone turnover by inhibiting osteoblast and osteoclast activity and copper deficiency seems to have a negative effect on bone health.

Men and premenopausal women who have higher dietary intake of silicon seem to have higher bone mineral density, which could reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Vanadium and Molybdenum are essential trace minerals which may be important in bone health.

Vitamin C is involved in the biosynthesis of connective-tissue components, including elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycans, bone matrix and elastin-associated fibrillin. Some evidence suggests that Vitamin C intake might be related to bone mineral density in premenopausal women and men. In postmenopausal women who use estrogen and smoke, higher Vitamin C levels might reduce fracture risk. 

Suggested Use: 12-14 capsules per day
