The Quality Difference
Quality of calcium is very important, as are numerous cofactor nutrients that support healthy bone metabolism.* We never compress minerals into tablets, as this makes them difficult to absorb. Also, we never use cheap minerals like calcium carbonate, bone meal, dolomite, or oyster shell, as they are very difficult for the body to use. While calcium citrate is easy to absorb, 1,000 mg of calcium citrate per day may cause headaches or fatigue. Wellness Resources specializes in exceptionally absorbable forms of minerals, especially calcium.*
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 has been shown to improve calcium absorption and support bone health.* Many people do not get adequate sun exposure for vitamin D synthesis, especially in winter months, making vitamin D supplementation essential.* Furthermore, Vitamin D has many functions in the body, one of which is assisting parathyroid hormone, which improves the bones' utilization of calcium.*
Magnesium and Bones
Magnesium is needed to activate the bone enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, which is involved in forming new calcium bone crystals.* Magnesium is also required to convert dietary vitamin D into its biologically active form, D3.* Low magnesium lessens the function of parathyroid hormone, a main hormone that assists in the formation of new bone. Diets rich in magnesium are also consistent with good bone health.*
Vitamin K
Vitamin K works in harmony with vitamin D to enable calcium to form the hydroxyapatite bone crystals, the very building block of bones.* Without vitamin K, calcium cannot attach to the collagen matrix of bone.* Daily Bone Xcel contains both K1 and a unique form of K2 called K2VITAL DELTA, an all trans MK-7 form that is uniquely stable, even when included in mineral formulations such as Daily Bone Xcel. Just three capsules of Daily Bone Xcel provide 45 mcg of K2 as MK-7, a basic amount shown to be supportive of bone health. For additional K2 combine with Bone & Joint Helper, which also contains other synergistic ingredients.
Trace Minerals
Boron works synergistically with magnesium to strengthen bone and joint health.* Strontium occurs in relatively large concentrations in bones and teeth and is another important cofactor for healthy bones.* Silica is found in high concentration at calcification sites of growing bone and plays a role in bone formation.* Manganese is also needed for bone mineralization, as well as for connective tissue and cartilage formation.* These trace minerals, while needed in smaller amounts than calcium or magnesium, are also very important for optimal bone health.*
