Bone Assure, 180 capsules

In addition to the calcium which is so commonly prescribed, the scientific literature documents the need for a wide range of minerals which are vital to maintaining strong, healthy bones. For those who have already lost bone density, the proper combination of nutrients can help restore bone mass by rebuilding the organic matrix that holds minerals such as calcium and magnesium in place.

Bone Assure is a comprehensive formula that can prevent osteoporosis in 5 different ways:

Protecting bone mineral mass by providing a potent amount of elemental magnesium and a highly absorbable form of calcium (bis-glycinate) that has been shown to assimilate 1.8 times better than calcium citrate.

Maintaining the organic bone matrix with the minerals zinc, manganese, silica and copper that are required for the formation of collagen and other living connective tissues. Manganese has been shown to specifically act as an anabolic catalyst in the development and maintenance of the organic bone matrix.

Facilitating the absorption of calcium into the blood stream by providing vitamin D3. Once in the bloodstream, vitamin D3 then acts as a hormone to direct calcium into the bone matrix.

Preventing excessive urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium by providing the trace mineral boron.

Lowering toxic homocysteine levels that have been shown to damage the organic bone matrix by providing small amounts of folic acid, B6, and TMG.

Bone Assure comes in capsules which open and disperse their powdered contents within 5 minutes of ingestion, unlike some calcium tablets which may take hours to completely disintegrate.
