WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension
"Bone Assure is a comprehensive formula that can help maintain bone mineral density by:
Sustaining bone mineral mass by providing a potent amount of elemental magnesium and a highly absorbable form of calcium (bisglycinate) that has been shown to assimilate 1.8 times better than calcium citrate.
Maintaining the organic bone matrix with the minerals zinc, manganese, silica, and copper that are required for the formation of collagen and other living connective tissues. Manganese has been shown to specifically act as an anabolic catalyst in the development and maintenance of the organic bone matrix.
Facilitating the absorption of calcium into the bloodstream by providing vitamin D3. Once in the bloodstream, vitamin D3 then acts as a hormone to direct calcium into the bone matrix.
Preventing excessive urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium by providing the trace mineral boron.
Lowering elevated homocysteine levels that have been shown to damage the organic bone matrix, by providing small amounts of folic acid, B6 and TMG.
Bone Assure comes in capsules, which open and disperse their powdered contents within five minutes of ingestion, unlike some calcium tablets that may take hours to completely disintegrate."
