The process of building and maintaining bone structure involves numerous biochemical and physiological processes. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two primary types of bone cells involved in maintaining skeletal structure. Osteoblasts are responsible for bone mineralization (building new bone). Osteoclasts are responsible for secreting acid and enzymes that help dissolve “old” bone tissue into calcium and other components, some of which may be reused by the body. The balance of building and breaking down bone involves a complex interplay between various nutrients, hormones, and other biochemicals. Our Calcium/Magnesium Citrate formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining a strong, healthy bone structure.†



Features
Provides calcium as citrate and hydroxyapatite.
Contains magnesium as citrate and oxide, both forms are well absorbed and utilized by the body.
Vitamin D and K added for their role in supporting healthy bone structure.†
Boron is an important trace mineral that plays a role in supporting the hormonal processes involved in bone health.†
Betaine hydrochloride to support mineral absorption.†


Benefits
Promotes bone growth, density, and strength.†
Calcium has been approved by the FDA for the prevention of osteoporosis.†
Calcium citrate and hydroxyapatite provide two highly bioavailable forms of calcium for supporting the normal, healthy structure of bone tissue.†
Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium and magnesium oxide contains a very high level of elemental magnesium. Both provide structural support for bone health, and magnesium is a cofactor for many important biochemical processes in the body.†
Vitamin D 3 effectively raises blood levels of vitamin D, a nutrient that helps support calcium absorption, and reduces the amount of calcium lost from bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†
Vitamin K helps activate specific proteins that help bind to calcium (osteocalcin) and helps maintain normal, healthy levels of calcium within the blood vessels (Matrix GLA protein); helping ensure calcium remains within bone tissue.†
Boron is an essential trace mineral required for various hormonal process that impacts bone health and helps support the functions of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.†
Betaine hydrochloride is added for its ability to help contribute to a low pH (high acidity) environment which is conducive to calcium absorption.†

Aquamin® mineralized red algae is collected in the pristine Arctic waters of Iceland. It is rich in calcium, magnesium and more than 72 trace minerals. A growing body of evidence shows that Aquamin® helps to mineralize bone cells, and supports bone density and strength.† Bone mineralization is further enhanced when taken with Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2.† Our Algae-Based Calcium formula is designed to provide the structural components, as well as help support the complex processes involved in building and maintaining strong, healthy bone structure.†

Vitamin D3 effectively raises blood levels of vitamin D, a nutrient that helps support calcium absorption, and reduces the amount of calcium lost from the bone (bone resorption). Vitamin D plays many important roles in the body, several of which involve supporting bone health.†
Aquamin® has shown the ability for sufferers of osteoarthritis to reduce NSAID use by up to 50%†
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is more biologically active than the more common form, Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone).
Vitamin K2 increases the body’s formation of osteocalcin, which helps calcium bind to the
bone matrix. The binding of calcium is critical to the growth and strength of bones.†
Vitamin K2 also increases the formation of a protein (Matrix GLA-Protein) which regulates the amount of calcium present in arterial walls. This helps maintain the elasticity and overall health of arteries.†

Magnesium is an essential nutrient, meaning that your body needs it for healthy functioning. It is found in significant quantities throughout the body and is used for numerous purposes; including muscle relaxation, blood clotting, and the manufacture of ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the body’s main energy molecule). It has been called “nature’s calcium channel blocker”. The idea refers to magnesium’s ability to block calcium from entering muscle and heart cells. A group of prescription heart medications work in a similar way, although much more powerfully. This may be the basis for some of magnesium’s effects when it is taken as a supplement in fairly high doses.

Features
Chelated Magnesium, bound to Amino Acids to aid absorption.


Benefits
Magnesium a cofactor for well over 300 biochemical reactions.†
Magnesium is required for nutrient metabolism and energy production, muscle function and works synergistically with calcium, where calcium is responsible for muscle contraction and magnesium, muscle relaxation.†
Magnesium is also essential for maintaining a normal, healthy blood pressure, and is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, cell membrane function and the activity of hormones, neurotransmitters and other cellular regulators.†
Magnesium is an essential dietary mineral, and the second most prevalent electrolyte in the human body.†
Magnesium deficiencies are common in developed countries. A deficiency increases blood pressure, reduces glucose tolerance and causes neural excitation. If magnesium is supplemented to attenuate a deficiency, it acts may reduce blood pressure and improve insulin sensitivity.†
Maintaining healthy magnesium levels is also associated with a protective effect against depression and ADHD.†
CAUTION: A sudden increase in excess doses may cause gastrointestinal distress and diarrhea.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for numerous biochemical and physiological processes in the body. Zinc is important for healthy functioning of all organs.

Potassium is one of the seven essential macro minerals. The human body requires at least 100 milligrams of potassium daily to support key processes. A high potassium intake reduces the risk of overall mortality by 20 percent. It also decreases the risk of stroke, lowers blood pressure, protects against loss of muscle mass, preserves bone mineral density, and reduces the formation of kidney stones. The primary functions of potassium in the body include regulating fluid balance and controlling the electrical activity of the heart and other muscles. Fast facts on potassium:

Adults should be consuming 4,700 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day. However, fewer than two percent of people in the U.S. consume enough potassium.
Potassium is a balancing electrolyte: many people with problems with sodium may actually require more potassium.
Beet greens, white beans, soybeans, coconut water, and lima beans are the foods highest in potassium.
Potassium deficiency can lead to fatigue, cramps, weakness, and constipation. It can escalate to paralysis, respiratory failure, and painful gut obstructions.


Features
Potassium 99mg 2% (as amino acid complex).


Benefits
May aid in healthy Blood Pressure support and Cardiovascular Health.†
Supports Bone Health and Muscle Maintenance.†
Often helps people with muscle cramps, especially those associated with certain potassium-depleting medicines.†
