Concept

Bone is living, growing tissue that contains blood vessels and nerves. It is made mostly of collagen, a protein that provides a

soft framework for bones, and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. More than 99% of the body’s calcium is contained in the bones and teeth. The remain ing 1% is found in cells, blood, and other body fluids. Normal healthy bones are an important part of maintaining the general health of the human body. Healthy bones enable a person to enjoy many of life’s activities.

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 well-developed blend of vitamins, minerals, and other potent ingredients, which helps maintain proper bone structure and function and provides 500 mg of calcium and 100 IU of vitamin D per daily dose.

While calcium is the primary factor in maintaining proper bone structure and function, it is not the only one. Minerals such as
boron and magnesium also contribute to proper bone health. In addition, vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and vitamin Cis essential for the normal formation of collagen, which is necessary for normal bone structure and function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of calcium in Bone Formula? Calcium has received a great deal of attention as a bone nutrient.
As the most abundant bone mineral, calcium is the structural component in the form of calcium hydroxyapatite. Calcium supplementation can increase bone mineralization in children and young adults, and prevent bone loss in the elderly

What is the role of vitamin D in Bone Formula?

The role of vitamin D in calcium and bone metabolism is well established. There are a number of clinical trials documenting
the benefits of supplemental vitamin D for maintaining normal bone health and calcium metabolism, especially in the elderly.
Although vitamin D is produced in the skin upon sunlight exposure, marginal vitamin D status is common especially in the  elderly living in the northern latitudes of the U.S. and Canada. As a result, vitamin D supplementation from multivitamins in the amount of 400 IU daily is recommended.

What is the role of magnesium in Bone Formula?
Magnesium is the second most abundant bone mineral and appears to be as equally important for bone health as calcium, especially as marginal or inadequate magnesium intake is a significant concern in the U.S. Magnesium is involved in the regulation of calcium transport and metabolism, and as such assumes a key role in bone formation. The 1996 USDA Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) showed that approximately three out of four adult women and two out of three adult men do not meet the RDA for magnesium.
