Calcium hydroxyapatite
To be absorbed, calcium must be made soluble by the hydrochloric acid present in the stomach. But as we age, the stomach's output of hydrochloric acid is reduced. Most calcium supplements are made with calcium carbonate. One study showed that people with reduced stomach acid absorbed only 4 percent of calcium carbonate supplements. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a highly bioavailable from of calcium derived from the bones of animals raised with stringent care to optimize purity and safety, and processed using methods designed to preserve nutritional integrity. This processing leaves microcrystals of hydroxyapatite, which contain all the minerals and protein essential to bone health. Boron Boron is essential for plant growth, and also to bone health in animals and humans. Boron appears to be particularly beneficial when paired with adequate weight-bearing exercise, which has long been known to support bone density. Some research suggests that boron enhances estrogen activity. It is probably not coincidental that post-menopausal women tend to be deficient in boron. This also suggests that boron supplements may maximize the bone-supporting activity of estrogen in women with decreased estrogen levels. Boron also supports the conversion of Vitamin D, which is essential for calcium absorption, to its active form. The evidence strongly suggests that the recognition in Canada of boron as a safe and essential nutrient adds a welcome new tool for the fight against osteoporosis. Vitamin D, trace minerals, and Vitamin C Vitamin D is essential to calcium absorption. Magnesium converts Vitamin D to its active form, and also activates the enzyme that triggers formation of calcium crystals in bone. Studies have correlated magnesium intake with bone mineral density and deficiency with osteoporosis. Zinc also enhances the activity of Vitamin D. Research has shown that elderly osteoporosis patients are often low in zinc, and that supplementation is positively correlated with improved bone mineral density. Copper works synergistically with zinc. Manganese, which is necessary for bone mineralization, has been found in osteoporotic women to be only 25 percent of levels found in women with healthy bone mass. Researchers have determined that manganese and zinc can improve the mineral density of spinal bone in post-menopausal women. Vitamin C is a co-factor in collagen production. Suggested Use: Take 6 capsules daily in divided doses with food.
