Bone-Up reduces bone loss by protecting colorectal health. Bones give us the freedom to do the things we want to do. They help us to stand up straight, to run, to jump and to play. That's why it's important for bones to stay strong and healthy our whole lives. Many older people have bones that have become weak and can break easily. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones are fragile, making them fracture or break much easier. Osteoporosis doesn't usually show up in bones until adulthood, but it can start during childhood. Regular, weight-bearing exercise and a healthy diet with adequate calcium, including from Bone-Up helps teen and young adult women:
- Build bone mass,
- Maintain bone health,
- May reduce their risk of osteoporosis later in life.
Jarrow Formulas' Bone-Up combines Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA) with Glucosamine to support the deposition of calcium into the bones as well as to assist in building up the organic bone matrix. Also added are the nutrients MK-7 (a more bioavailable form of Vitamin K2), and Methyl B12 for optimal osteo support.
Calcium is also important. All through your life, your body continually removes and replaces small amounts of calcium from bones. If more calcium is removed than is replaced, bones become weaker and have a greater chance of breaking. Getting calcium from other sources, like yogurt or milk, means your body doesn't have to take as much from your bones. It also helps store calcium in the bones for later in life. Daily calcium intake above 2,000 mg is not likely to provide additional benefit. Adequate calcium intake is also linked to reduced osteoporosis by slowing bone loss in older men and women.
Vitamin K2 provides major protection from osteoporosis, cardiovascular blockages and pathological calcification. Vitamin K's job is to put calcium in the right places and keep it from being deposited in the wrong places. The right places are bones and blood, and the wrong places include calcification of the vessels, bone spurs and calcification of soft tissues.
