About Jarrow Formulas BoneUp - 120 Capsules

Product Description Bone-Up provides StimuCal ossein MicroCrystalline HydroxyApatite (MCHA) (from free-range New Zealand calves), which includes the superior combination of the inorganic calcium lattice of MCHA within an organic protein milieu. StimuCal is rich in native type I collagen­—the predominant protein found in bone—and has been clinically demonstrated not to disproportionately spike calcium blood levels as do other forms of calcium, such as the carbonate and citrate salt forms.* StimuCal is combined with vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (as MK-7 from natural fermentation [a more bioavailable form of vitamin K]) to support the proper deposition of calcium into the bone matrix, thereby maintaining skeletal integrity, as well as supporting cardiovascular and arterial health.* Potassium citrate is a systemic alkalizer added for optimal osteo support.* HEALTH CLAIM: Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. For best results, use with Jarrow Formulas JarroSil, the biologically Activated Silicon Amazon.com Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up provides comprehensive supplemental nutritional support for maintaining strong, healthy bones.* Bone-Up has been a featured product of Jarrow Formulas for some time and has been updated through the years to reflect the latest scientific findings regarding skeletal health. Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up, 120 Capsules At a Glance: Promotes bone density* Provides the essentials for proper calcium utilization by the body Utilizes New Zealand or Australian bovine bone ossein microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (OHC)--more than just calcium Ideal for those who are not getting enough calcium from foods or who are on a high protein and/or high phosphorous diet Promotes bone density with comprehensive supplemental nutrition. Provides the essentials for proper calcium utilization by the body. . Bone Mass and Ossein Hydroxyapatite In 1982, an important calcium supplementation study was concluded and reported by the Dept. of Medicine and Radiology, Royal Free Hospital in London, England. Fifty-three women with reduced calcium absorption and accelerated bone loss were separated into three groups and studied for over 14 months. At the conclusion of the study, only the women that received 1,000 mg of calcium from ossein hydroxyapatite (OHC) along with vitamin D showed significant support for bone-health.* OHC produces more prolonged calcium balance than soluble calcium salts. It also allows the bone osteoblast cells to be more receptive to its components and to build bone tissue. Furthermore, OHC provides both the organic and inorganic constituents found in human bone: the hydroxyapatite microcrystals consist of calcium, phosphorous, oxygen, and hydrogen; the trace minerals zinc, strontium, silicon and iron; and proteins, amino acids and aminoglycans.* Bone Health Bone consists of calcium and phosphorous crystals embedded in a framework of interlocking protein fibers. The protein fibers are made primarily of collagen. The mineral crystals give bone hardness, strength, and rigidity. Collagen fibers impart their quality of flexibility. Hydroxyapatite composes 67 percent of the weight of bone, and the collagenous fibers make up the remaining 33 percent.* The average adult has 1,000 - 1,200 grams of calcium in the body. Bones are the body's largest calcium storehouse and will release calcium into the bloodstream in order to ensure correct blood levels of calcium. Thus, blood calcium levels can be normal while bone loss can be considerable. Between 2 - 4 percent of a person's skeleton is remodeled every year. This means that calcium and other minerals leave the bone in a process called resorption and then must be "remodeled" or replaced. Whether due to poor nutrition or reduced hormone levels with the onset of aging, the loss of calcium and other minerals from the bone creates tiny holes that make bones
