Bone health related benefits linked to ingredients found in Osteo Sustain:
Vitamin C
- Potent antioxidant and essential cofactor for collagen cross-linking.
Vitamin D
- Higher bone mineral density and lower fracture risk
- Improved muscle strength and decreased risk for falls
Vitamin K
- Higher bone mineral density
- Lower incidence of fractures
Calcium
- Essential for muscle contractions, nerve conduction, release of hormones, and enzyme activity.
- Associated with a 24% reduction in the risk of hip fracture. (Cummings, 1997)
- Higher calcium intakes related to higher bone mass. (Heaney, 2000)
- Retards bone loss in postmenopausal women. (Shea, 2002)
Magnesium
- Essential for bone matrix synthesis
- Essential cofactor for over 300 important enzyme reactions.
Zinc
- Stimulates gene expression of osteoblasts, bone formation, mineralization, and inhibits osteoclast cell formation. (Yamaguchi, 2010)
Copper
- Necessary cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of bone collagen.
Manganese
- Necessary cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of bone
collagen.
Boron
- Reduces urine calcium losses, activates estrogen and vitamin D.
Bamboo extract (silica)
- Significant association between silica intake and hip bone mineral
density in estrogen-replete women. (Macdonald, 2012)
