BoneAssist

“BoneAssist, SAFA Lab, 120 tabs

This formulation provides calcium and other nutrients that are critical to building and maintaining healthy bones. While bones are in a constant state of turnover, they absorb less calcium as we age, gradually losing their strength and density over time. Several factors can help slow the rate of bone loss including regular weight- bearing exercise and sufficient intake of vital nutrients important in maintaining bone density. Calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin K, and boron work in complementary ways to support the density, strength, formation, and metabolism of bones.

• Calcium and vitamin D: Calcium is the basic bone-building mineral required by the body, while vitamin D assists the body’s absorption of calcium and helps limit calcium loss in the urine. While bones are in a constant state of turnover, they absorb less calcium as we age, gradually losing their strength and density over time. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake every day, over a lifetime, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis late in life. To enhance dietary intake of these vital nutrients, this product provides 200 IU of vitamin D3 and 250 mg of calcium, as calcium citrate-malate, per serving. About 40% more calcium is absorbed from calcium citrate-malate compared to calcium carbonate or milk. Calcium citrate-malate is also well-tolerated, as it does not produce intestinal discomfort, constipation or gas like some forms of calcium.

• Magnesium: Magnesium has a multi-faceted role in bone health. This mineral has an influence on calcium metabolism and bone formation through its role in converting vitamin D to its most active form. Magnesium is also helpful in regulating several hormones that affect calcium absorption and utilization while acting as a cofactor in over 300 enzymatic reactions.

• Vitamin K: Vitamin K has long been recognized as an important fat-soluble vitamin essential for normal bone mineralization. Several different forms of vitamin K exist, with the primary dietary form being vitamin K1, or phylloquinone, found primarily in green vegetables. While most of the benefits of vitamin K were previously attributed to vitamin K1, recent research has identified important benefits for vitamin K2 or menaquinone. While both vitamin K1 and K2 are crucial for bone mineralization, vitamin K2 has been shown to be a more powerful form. For maximum benefit, both vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 is supplied in this product.

• Boron: Boron is included for its usefulness in enhancing the absorption and utilization of both calcium and magnesium. This product provides boron in the readily absorbable form of an aspartate-citrate chelate.

This dietary supplement is an excellent addition to a healthy diet and exercise program for anyone who wants to support maximum bone health. Individuals may also chose to include a daily, high-potency multiple vitamin/mineral formulation for more complete bone support.
