Better Bones Basics

Essential bone support

Many women are on the constant search for ways to incorporate more calcium and magnesium into their diets and to ensure that it’s going to get absorbed properly.

Better Bones Basics is our exclusive osteo support formula reflecting the latest research finding that calcium alone is not enough. When combined with Essential Nutrients and a healthy diet, Better Bones Basics brings you more calcium and magnesium, and, most importantly, ideal amounts of essential bone-building nutrients at commonly accepted therapeutic levels to optimize absorption for nutrients ingested orally. These include:

• Vitamin D – the greatest regulator of calcium and phosphorus for bones and teeth.

• Vitamin K – includes both K1 and K2, which not only play a role in blood clotting, but are required for the synthesis of osteocalcin, the bone protein matrix upon which calcium crystallizes. Vitamin K serves as the “glue” that binds calcium onto the skeleton while keeping the calcium out of your arteries.

• Calcium – essential for healthy bone development and maintenance, and calcium gives our bones both strength and rigidity. Its absorption is contingent upon adequate levels of vitamin D.

• Magnesium – assures strength and firmness of bones, makes teeth harder, and is essential for the absorption and metabolism of calcium.

• Zinc – required for bone healing and repair, and proper absorption of calcium.

• Strontium – plays a critical role as it tends to migrate to the sites where active remodeling is taking place and promotes mineralization of the bones and teeth.

Each nutrient is provided in its most alkalizing form and was chosen for its purity, potency and bioavailability. We also handpicked our manufacturing partner based on its quality standards, which are externally certified to meet or exceed the FDA’s GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) regulations.
