Vitamin K is necessary for healthy bone mineral
density
Vitamin K has been shown to be essential for bone
mineralization because it’s a cofactor for the
carboxylation of osteocalcin, a protein produced by
osteoblasts that is responsible for binding calcium
and depositing it in the bone. This process is
called bone mineralization.1,2
Getting enough vitamin K2
If you’re not getting enough vitamin K2,
osteocalcin doesn’t undergo carboxylation and
remains in its inactive form, which means it cannot
bind to calcium and play its role in bone
formation.2
Enhancing vitamin K with vitamin D3 & calcium
Clinical studies showed that when you combine
vitamin K with vitamin D3 and calcium, there’s a
significant increase in bone mass density.1 That’s
why we include 700 mg of ultra-absorbable calcium
and 25 mcg (1000 IU) of vitamin D3 in our Bone
Restore Elite formula.
Bone density and menopause
Women go through an additional rapid phase of bone
loss during menopause followed by age-related bone
loss at the same rate as men. But studies of
postmenopausal women showed that taking vitamin K2
helped maintain and even increase bone mineral
density.3-6
Other bone-healthy nutrients
Like other formulas in our Bone Restore family,
Bone Restore Elite also delivers healthy doses of
the trace minerals your bones need:
Magnesium is needed to maintain strong bones and a
healthy vascular system.7 Bone Restore contains 300
mg of magnesium from magnesium oxide.
Zinc, manganese, and silicon are essential for
healthy bone maintenance. You have to have a sufficient intake of these elements to support
healthy bone formation.
Boron is a trace mineral with beneficial effects
for bone and joint strength.8 This formula contains
patented Fruitex B® OsteoBoron®, made from a novel
calcium/carbohydrate/boron complex.
