For proper bone health, it’s important to consume adequate calcium. During childhood, we are able to absorb up to 75% of the calcium we consume, but as growth slows, so does the calcium absorption rate. Teens absorb 20 to 40% of ingested calcium and adults, on average, absorb only around 15%. Also, according to USDA food
intake surveys, most American women consume only about half as much calcium as recommended. Bone Formula is a scientifically advanced blend of vitamins, minerals, and other potent ingredients, which helps maintain proper bone structure and function and provides 500 mg of calcium and 400 IU of vitamin D per daily dose More than 40 million Americans are affected by—or are at high risk for—osteoporosis
• Healthcare costs for bone-related conditions far exceed $30 billion per year
• Most women achieve peak bone mass around 20 years of age
Bone Formula blends three excellent sources of calcium (lithothamnion, calcium malate, and calcium ascorbate). Lithothamnion is a new exciting source of calcium derived from mineralized seaweed that can only be found in certain sub-oceanic locations throughout the world. During its life cycle, this unique seaweed absorbs nutrients from the clear, cold, pollution free, mineral-rich Atlantic waters. This all-natural plant source of minerals contains important levels of key bone nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. Calcium malate and calcium ascorbate provide complementary sources of calcium that are bioavailable and well tolerated. Calcium supplementation can promote healthy bone formation in young adults and support healthy bone integrity in the elderly.
Bone Formula delivers a special form of vitamin K known as menaquinone, or vitamin K2. Studies have shown that K2 is more active than vitamin K1 in maintaining bone health. Vitamin K2 also delivers cardiovascular benefits, a benefit not found in regular vitamin K1. A recent study investigated the effects of vitamin K1 as compared to vitamin K2 in two European populations; the group that consumed vitamin K2 showed bone health benefits that continued to increase throughout the study, whereas the efficacy of K1 plateaued within a few days.
