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 strong, healthy bone structure.*

Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is a hormone that is typically categorized as a vitamin. The body is able to synthesize pre-vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to sunlight. The pre-vitamin D3 is rapidly converted into vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is then transported through the blood to the liver and kidney where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D. Vitamin K is found in two primary forms: Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) and Vitamin K2 (menaquinone). The main difference between these forms is that K2 as menaquinone 7 is absorbed at a much higher rate than K1 and remains in the body 36 times longer (allowing it to move beyond the liver into other tissues); whereas K1 is primarily utilized by the liver to make blood clotting factors. In addition to other roles, Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is essential for healthy, strong bones and for supporting arterial health.* Both Vitamin D3+K2 are formulated together in a synergistic formula to help support cardiovascular health, provide bone structure support, help support normal & healthy Calcium Levels.*

The role of Vitamin D in helping to maintain bone density andstrength is clear. It is required for the process of moving calciumthrough the intestinal wall into the bloodstream.†Even though the human body can manufacture Vitamin D underideal circumstances, there is strong evidence that much of theAmerican population suffers from a deficiency of the nutrient. Thismeans that supplementation may be important. Cholecalciferol(D-3) is a natural, highly bioavailable form of Vitamin D derivedfrom lanolin.

The human body is made up of many joints. These joints are essential to movement and our ability to undertake daily tasks. As we age, the integrity of our joints may become compromised. Injury, excess weight, poor nutrition, and disease can leave joints, stiff, swollen, achy, and with reduced mobility. Cartilage serves to protect the joints and is typically the first thing to be affected when problems develop. Type II Collagen is the major structural protein responsible for the tensile strength and resilience of cartilage. It comprises 85-90% of the collagen that makes up the smooth white tissue (articular cartilage) that covers the ends of the bones at the joint surface. Type II Collagen is also replete in glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin sulfate and Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic Acid is concentrated in the synovial fluid that fills the joint cavities which is responsible for reducing friction between the articulating joints and acts as a shock absorber.*
