BoneActivtm
contains a specially designed combination of
minerals and vitamin co-factors that support
bone health. Its primary ingredient.
Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA or
MCHC), is derived from bovine (cattle) and
is a source of calcium, elemental and trace
minerals, collagen proteins and other
components in their natural physiologic
proportions.
There have been a
number of studies indicating both
better absorption of MCHA versus other forms
of calcium and actual reductions in radial
bone loss for those taking MCHA/MCHC
Calcium. The higher absorbability appears to
be the result of a number of factors.
Studies show calcium absorption is enhanced
in the
presence of a protein, and the
microcrystalline structure gives a large
surface area so the minerals may be released
from the organic/
protein matrix into the intestines.
Calcium is the most
abundant mineral in the body, the human body
contains approximately 2.5
pounds, and 99% of this is stored in the
bones and teeth, the remainder is in the
bloodstream and the fluids surrounding the
cells. It is an essential mineral with a
wide range of biological functions.
