How It Works

Calcium

Calcium helps re-mineralize bones to keep them strong, healthy, and dense. Calcium is essential for the health of bones, teeth and muscles, and it plays an essential role in blood clotting, nerve conduction, and many cellular functions. Your skeleton acts like a bank for calcium, storing it until you need it. Calcium comprises half of all the minerals in the body. Combined with other trace minerals needed by the body, calcium helps replenish bone tissue that is constantly being replaced. It is also needed by the immune system and is critical for muscle contractions.

Magnesium

Magnesium governs the proper utilization of calcium in joints, bones, muscles and nerves. Magnesium and calcium depend on each other for proper assimilation in the body. Magnesium is critical for bone development and maintenance, serving as a key component of bone structure and helping to maintain bone density. Studies have shown that magnesium can help naturally raise levels of vitamin D in the body. Plus, magnesium plays a role in muscle function and can help with muscle cramps and spasms.

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 plays a vital role in bone metabolism. Vitamin K2 facilitates calcium absorption and proper mineralization. Vitamin K2 helps ensure proper calcium utilization in the body by working to maintain optimal mineral balance between the muscles, blood and bones. Vitamin K2 guides calcium to the places it’s needed most (your bones and teeth), and that’s extra important with age. By guiding calcium to the right target tissues, vitamin K2 helps prevent undesired calcium deposits in arteries or soft tissues. Our vitamin K2 is MK-7 (Menaquinone-7), a superior, more bioavailable form of vitamin K2 than other forms.

Zinc

Zinc is required for the growth, development and maintenance of skeletal health and strong bones. Zinc plays a crucial role in bone formation, maintenance, and repair and aids in the healing of fractures. Zinc also influences bone remodeling by stimulating bone-building cells (osteoblasts) and slowing the breakdown of bone. Plus, zinc is necessary for the proper functioning of vitamin D in the cells. Relatively large amounts of zinc are found in bones and muscles.

Copper

Copper is an essential trace mineral that helps build and maintain strong bones and muscles. Copper is also involved in the formation of connective tissues, including those found in bones and joints. And copper helps the body absorb iron, which is important for bone health. Wearing a copper bracelet is a popular folk remedy for joint discomfort. Plus, copper works together with zinc for healthy hair growth.

Boron

Boron is a trace mineral that works with calcium and magnesium to support bone health. Boron promotes the absorption and use of calcium and magnesium, significantly improving magnesium absorption and deposition in bone. Studies have shown that boron can also help naturally raise levels of vitamin D in the body. Plus, boron improves wound healing and has positive effects on joint strength.

Manganese

Manganese is an important trace mineral that supports the muscular and skeletal systems and is essential for calcium absorption. Manganese works with calcium and vitamin D to promote strong bones and assists in maintaining bone mineral content and bone density. Manganese acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone building and is crucial for the synthesis of collagen. Manganese is also an essential nutrient for intracellular activities where it plays an important role in energy production, immune response and antioxidant defense.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D offers a host of health benefits, including ensuring the proper dietary absorption of calcium. Along with calcium and other minerals, vitamin D supports bone health and bone mineralization and helps calcium do its job. Vitamin D also helps the body absorb zinc and manganese, which are trace elements needed for bone metabolism. In addition to bone health, vitamin D influences mood, and it supports both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system. Vitamin D is needed on a daily basis, especially for people not getting enough sunshine (D is the “sunshine vitamin”).

Bone-Mineralizing Complex

Bone-Mineralizing Complex (containing Horsetail, Oat straw, Alfalfa and Nettle), provides natural Silica and other micronutrients that help activate bone-building processes to support strong, healthy bones. Silica is an essential trace mineral for the building and normal repair of healthy connective tissue. Silica also improves the absorption and use of calcium. Horsetail contains the highest amount of silica of all known herbs. Recent evidence demonstrates extracts of horsetail support cellular health in bones.

Bone-Strengthening Herbal Blend

Bone-Strengthening Herbal Blend, containing Turmeric, Astragalus, Forskohlii and Ginger), boosts bone density, strength and health by supporting bone remodeling, a natural continuous process that involves the breakdown and rebuilding of bone tissue. Turmeric contains the active compound known as curcumin. Research suggests that curcumin stimulates the creation of bone-building cells (osteoblasts) and helps suppress the activity of bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts). Studies have noted that curcumin may also help increase bone mineral density.
