Key ingredients to help develop and maintain healthy bones
Serving Size: 10 Capsules
- Improves bone growth and bone density, while reducing bone loss
- Demonstrated to produce smaller blood calcium spikes than other types of supplemental calcium
- Calcium from microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA) complex; an extract of bovine bone derived from New Zealand pasture-fed, free-range livestock not subjected to routine antibiotics or rBGH
Ortho Bone™ is a multi-vitamin and mineral formula providing nutrients that are fundamental for mineral deposition in bone and for regulating the excretion of minerals. These nutrients are very important for those with osteoporosis, osteopenia or a history of bone fractures. Ortho Bone™ is unique because it serves not only to reduce bone loss but to maintain or even increase bone growth. This is due to the key ingredient, a source of calcium called microcrystalline hydroxyapatite complex (MCHC), which comes from New Zealand bovine bone. MCHC contains more than calcium: it contains all of the minerals and proteins found in bone, is rich in phosphorus, and provides growth factors that stimulate bone growth. It is digested more slowly in the stomach than typical calcium supplements, resulting in smaller spikes in blood calcium levels, which allows the calcium to be better absorbed into the bones.
Ortho Bone™ also provides vitamins C, D3, K2, B12 and folate, and minerals boron, magnesium, manganese, silicon, zinc and copper. Together, these ingredients help to promote bone health and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis and osteopenia. The most effective forms of vitamins D & K2 are found in Ortho Bone™, serving to enhance the body’s absorption and usage of calcium. Vitamin C and silicon support collagen production, which builds the framework for bone. Magnesium makes up a large part of the bone mineral matrix, while boron reduces magnesium loss, and trace minerals manganese, zinc and copper are co-factors for enzymes involved in bone metabolism. Vitamins B12 and folate help reduce homocysteine, a metabolic by-product that is thought to be toxic to bone fibers.
Ortho Bone™ is a serious bone health product for serious bone health support, with a dose of 10 capsules per day delivering 1000 mg of elemental calcium.
AOR Advantage
AOR’s Ortho Bone™ contains not just calcium, but all the key ingredients at the appropriate doses in the most effective forms to keep bones in optimal condition and to reduce bone loss. This is why 10 capsules a day provides your daily dose of calcium. The MCHC calcium source used in Ortho Bone™ also contains growth factors and proteins, which is why it actually stimulates bone development rather than just reducing calcium loss.
