Calcium is an essential mineral for the creation and maintenance of bones. It has a structural role, and together with phosphorus contributes to ossification. 99% of calcium is found in bones, and the remaining 1% in teeth, skin, and blood plasma. The body also uses calcium for the production of hormones and enzymes, for the regulation of heart rate, and blood clotting. If calcium intake is not sufficient to meet dietary needs, bones risk becoming porous and weak, because the body takes the calcium it needs from them.
NOW Bone Strength contains 1000 mg of calcium hydroxide, one of the most absorbable and effective forms of calcium. It also contains 4000 mg of microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), a natural ingredient that helps maintain the proper structure of bones, and protect bone mass and density.
This high bioavailability balanced combination of nutrients and botanicals is enriched with glucosamine, proteins, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, vitamin D-3, and strontium, which helps retain calcium and increase estrogen levels in women. It thus provides all the nutrients needed for strong and healthy bones, creating a comprehensive product for the prevention and protection against osteoporosis and osteomalacia.
