Every mineral plays a role in your body.
Most people understand the need for Calcium and Vitamin D, but few know about a recently discovered powerful combination of nutrients clinically proven to produce significant bone growth.
Vitamin K2,9-11 strontium,12-17 and trace minerals18-19 have been revealed to play an important role in increasing bone mineral density, even among post-menopausal women. Many people take calcium plus vitamin D for years with little or no results, because these other important and vital nutrients must also be included to effectively stimulate bone growth. |
Japanese Bone Health Research You Need
Japanese medical researchers recently conducted more than a dozen clinical studies on vitamin K2 with impressive bone mineral density increases. Vitamin K2 is generally derived from a native Japanese food called "Natto" which is made with fermented soy beans. This vitamin is very expensive so it has been slow to reach the rest of the world in spite of its proven benefit. Also, because it has been available historically it cannot be patented so the financial incentive for developing this product internationally is diminished. It has remained a Japanese secret until now! Several bone health formulas contain vitamin K1, but the clinical evidence for bone health benefits for K1 is minimal compared to K2.
A French Discovery has a Double Benefit for
Three large clinical trials in France have just concluded, uncovering substantial increases in bone mineral density and reduced fracture risk with the use of the mineral strontium as a supplement. Strontium is a common element which is naturally found in your bones, and the studies show supplementation with strontium is completely safe. Bone growth stimulation from strontium has been found to be much better than calcium supplements alone. Post-menopausal women normally lose 1% of their bone per year, but the strontium ranelate studies are showing 3 year bone growth of 8 - 11%!
Researchers have also discovered strontium has a unique double benefit for bones. On a cellular level bone is continuously growing and being re-absorbed at the same time; bone growth drugs or rock-based calcium effect only one side of the equation. Strontium inhibits bone resorption while simultaneously stimulating bone growth, an exciting double benefit. No other natural substance or drug is known to provide this dual action effect.
And the good news doesn't stop there - strontium appears to have important benefits beyond bone growth - preliminary studies show it may also support joint health!
Forget What You Think You Know About Vitamin D3
In 2006, 3 major studies by different atuhors have shown that a higher vitamin D intake can not only have a big impact on bone health, but also plays a big role in the prevention of cancer. You now receive a healthy dose of 1600 IU of vitamin D3 in a daily serving of AlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal Plus is the first formula to use a new certified organic, plant-sourced vitamin D3 made by fermenting yeast.
Does Your Calcium Supplement Contain Boron?
Boron is one of the most critical components for supporting healthy bone matrix. Without boron, the absorption of calcium can be limited and often underutilized. Researchers have concluded that boron is an essential factor in facilitating the bone-building effects of key nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. Numerous studies demonstrate boron is critical to maintaining and improving one's bone health.
