Purpose Nutrition - Bone Building Vitamin

Bone

Calcium, magnesium and other minerals are essential for building strong healthy bones, and for maintaining bone strength and density throughout life. This is especially true for women. Fewer than 2 out of 10 women get enough calcium from diet alone, according to the USDA. After the age of 11, no age group achieves even 75% of the calcium it needs. Calcium deficiency is a chronic public health problem that begins early in life. Low calcium intake is one of the most significant nutrient deficiencies identified in the federal government's Healthy People 2010.

Osteoporosis is a thinning of the bones that affects 10 million people in the U.S., over two-thirds of which are women. Another 34 million Americans have low bone mass, placing them at increased risk for osteoporosis. One in two women and one in four men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis-related bone fracture in their remaining lifetime. It is because we understand all these challenges that we made it our purpose to formulate the most effective bone supplement possible.

Our bone formula incorporates calcium citrate malate, a superior source of calcium that is highly absorbable and body friendly. Calcium citrate malate is calcium with 2 fruit acids, citric acid from citrus fruits and malic acid from apples. These fruit acids work to significantly enhance the absorption of calcium in your body. It is always important to remember, it is not the amount of a particular nutrient in a pill that matters – it is the amount you actually absorb for use in your body.

Our bone formula also contains Boron, which aids in calcium absorption, as well as a symphony of important bone building co-factors such as manganese, magnesium, zinc, and copper which work together in symphony with vitamins D and K. One last important consideration is that calcium and other minerals play additional important roles as well, including maintaining regular heartbeat, skin integrity, hair and nail health, and regulation of certain hormones. When there is insufficient calcium in the bloodstream from the diet, the body robs calcium from the bones to perform these vital functions, with can accelerate the rate of bone density loss.
