Bone (osteum) support is important in both men and women, but especially in post menopausal women or women who have had oophrectomies. Hormones such as Estrogen and Progesterone play a crucial part in bone metabolism. For those at risk for osteoporosis or who have osteopenia or osteoporosis then this supplement should be a part of your dietary intake of calcium.
Calcium is the most crucial mineral of the bone matrix (much better absorbed as citrate). Magnesium and Boron must also be present for best Calcium absorption. Vitamin D and Vitamin K facilitate calcium uptake in the building of health bone. Zinc, Copper and Manganese are supportive in bone health via enzymatic pathways. Soy isoflavones have estrogenic effects that aid in bone health and osteoporosis prevention. Betaine is a digestive enzyme that aids in absorption of the other ingredients in this formulation. It also harbors anti-inflammatory properties (inflammation is harmful to bone health). Horsetail herb extract has been used since Galen's time for brittle nails, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Dr. Saleeby's recommended dose is 2 tablets twice daily with meals. Those on blood thinners consult physician before taking vitamin K containing supplements.
