Total Bone Health
Total bone health means giving your body everything that it needs in order to maintain optimal bone density. In addition to diet and weight-bearing exercises, supplementing with calcium and the cofactors that promote calcium absorption are critical in building strong bones.
Your body needs calcium every day not just to keep your bones and teeth strong over your lifetime, but also to ensure proper function of muscles and nerves. When blood calcium levels drop too low, calcium must be "borrowed" from the bones. The average person loses 400 to 500 mg of calcium every day. Therefore, it is crucial that you supply your body with all the calcium it requires.
Are You Absorbing Your Calcium?
Not all calcium is created equal. Because solubility is a critical factor in determining how much calcium your body absorbs, BoneCare has been carefully designed to ensure maximum calcium bioavailability (the amount of calcium your body can use). BoneCare contains calcium lactate gluconate, which has a solubility that far exceeds the most common types of calcium supplements on the market, such as calcium carbonate or citrate. In fact, calcium lactate gluconate is the same form of calcium used by hospitals in IV (intravenous) solutions.
Why BoneCare?
It's not what you eat, it's what you absorb. BoneCare combines the most bioavailable form of calcium with a combination of eight different cofactors. These cofactors include vitamin C and D, magnesium, manganese, boron, potassium, riboflavin, and inulin. Combined, they promote maximum calcium absorption by the body.*
Stop swallowing huge tablets and start drinking your calcium. Give your bones all of the nutrients they need in the most absorbable form available with BoneCare.
