Solgar Ultimate Bone Support is formulated to provide 8 nutrients that promote bone health. Maintaining strong, healthy bones is especially important as you age. As you age, your body loses its ability to regenerate healthy bone mass and bones weaken, especially in postmenopausal women.
Bone itself is a living tissue that relies on symbiotic reactions that occur in the body to rebuild healthy bone: osteoclasts break down old bone and osteoblasts form new bone. If an imbalance in the activity of any one cell occurs, there will be a predominance of bone mineralization (formation) or bone loss (resorption).
Achieving optimal bone density in young people up to the age of 30 is crucial for optimal bone health later in life, as after approximately age 35, more bone is broken down than is created. Although genetics are the most important factors influencing bone health, diet and lifestyle are also very important factors.
Solgar Ultimate Bone Support contains a unique blend of chelated minerals, citrates and malates that facilitate the absorption and use of these minerals. Although calcium is the most abundant mineral in bones, its use by the body depends on two other essential nutrients, vitamin D and vitamin K, which this complex also provides.
• Advanced calcium complex with nutrients needed for bone health • Provides minerals and vitamins that help strengthen bones • Perfect for people who want to ensure optimal levels of bone-strengthening nutrients • Calcium is necessary for maintaining healthy bones • Vitamin D3, zinc and magnesium contribute to the normal maintenance of bones and muscles • Copper contributes to the normal maintenance of connective tissue • Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue and normal bone maintenance • Vitamin K2 helps promote the incorporation of calcium into the bone matrix and contributes to the normal maintenance of bones
