Strong Bones helps you build and maintain stronger bones. Strong Bones contains microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA) from New Zealand, with cofactors for immediate absorption to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Among the many ingredients in Strong Bones is boron. Boron can also exert a mild estrogenic effect which can be a risk factor for estrogen-dependant cancers. This is the rationale for New Roots Herbal developing a specific Boron-Free Strong Bones for people at risk or with a family history of these forms of cancer.
Vegetarian Strong Bones also features a non–bovine-sourced calcium and a nonshellfish source of glucosamine among our comprehensive 22-ingredient formula.
Strong Bones is a broad-spectrum formula to defend against osteoporosis. The strength of Strong Bones begins with microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), the most readily available form of calcium for human supplementation, which is also rich in proteins and phosphorus. This is the same type of calcium found in humans. Our MCHA is sourced from pasture-fed New Zealand cattle, freeze-dried and certified free from antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or “mad cow disease”).
- Reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis
- Synergistic 22-ingredient formula featuring MCHA, the most absorbable form of calcium
- Supports development and maintenance of the skeletal system
- Stronger bones can reduce the incidence of fragility fractures in women and men
Comprehensive Formulation Includes:
Vitamin C to improve calcium absorption.
Glucosamine sulfate represents a natural component for healthy cartilage and the production of connective tissue.
Magnesium is included to facilitate the absorption of calcium.
Zinc, copper, manganese, and boron are essential elements for bone growth and the maintenance of strong connective tissue, along with promoting calcium retention.
Vitamin B1 (thiamin) is essential to the formula to support metabolism of carbohydrates and for its role in energy production at the cellular level.
Vitamin K2 is included for its dual role in bone production and in the prevention of bone loss.
Lutein extract supports levels of this carotenoid, which have been shown in studies to be deficient in women with several forms of osteoporosis.
Lycopene, a phytochemical found in tomatoes, protects bone-producing cells from oxidative stress.
Methylcobalamin, the coenzyme form of vitamin B12, is included as research at Tufts University have identified low levels of methylcobalamin as a modifiable risk factor in bone-mineral density research.
Silica-rich horsetail, curcumin (95% curcuminoids), grapeseed extract, 80% oligomeric proanthocyanidins, and green tea, 75% epigallocatechin gallate, complete this advanced formula.
