bone builder tablets contain a synergistic blend of bone-building antioxidants (such as Lycopene), vitamins (including Vitamins D3, C and B12) and minerals (including 3 highly absorbable forms of Calcium). Together these ingredients help build and protect your bones for better posture, strength and mobility – while reducing risk for osteoporosis.

These convenient tablets are perfect for people on-the-go, or for those already taking a greens+ formula that would prefer not to switch formulas.

Ingredients:

Calcium (formate 200 mg; citrate-malate: 150 mg; bisglycinate: 150 mg) 500 mg

New research shows Calcium citrate-malate, long recommended for bone health is not enough. Two new forms: Calcium formate and bisglycinate, provide greater benefits due to their enhanced solubility. For maximum bioavailability and effectiveness, greens+ bone builder contains all 3 forms of Calcium.

Magnesium: 300 mg

Studies show a direct link between higher Magnesium intake and higher bone density in older adults. Like greens+, Magnesium promotes alkalinity in the body, thereby decreasing the risk for urinary Calcium loss.

Vitamin D3: 800IU

A major influencer on Calcium status, Vitamin D3 increases absorption from the intestines and helps prevent Calcium loss through the kidneys. Population studies show dietary Vitamin D3, either from supplementation or sunlight exposure, increases protection against osteoporosis and fractures.

Vitamin C (calcium and magnesium ascorbate): 100 mg

Essential for collagen (important strengthening component within bones) and bone formation. Population studies show low Vitamin C is associated with lower bone mass and elevated fracture risk. greens+ bone builder specifically contains a non-acidic form of Vitamin C (calcium and magnesium ascorbate).

Folic Acid 400 mcg, B12 10 mcg and B6 10mg

Folic Acid, Vitamins B12 and B6 status is associated with healthier bone mass. In addition to increasing bone forming cells, they actively lower homocysteine – now recognized as a major risk factor for osteoporosis and bone fractures.

Silicon: 3 mg

Research shows supplemental Silicon slows natural bone loss with aging. Silicon helps promote bone forming cells (osteoblasts). It also binds and removes Aluminum from the body which is associated with Calcium loss. greens+ bone builder contains Silicon from horsetail to provide a natural, food-based source.

Boron (FruiteX B® OsteoboronTM): 3 mg

Boron is critically important for bone health as it helps prevent Calcium and Magnesium loss and assists in the metabolism of Vitamin D3. Human studies show that the target dose for Boron to increase bone mass is 3mg (as found in greens+ bone builder).

Zinc 10 mg, Copper 1 mg, Manganese 3 mg

These minerals are essential co-factors which help enzymes work properly – including the manufacture of bone tissue. Deficiencies in these nutrients have profound effects on overall bone mass density. Intervention studies show these nutrients to be more beneficial in bone loss versus Calcium alone.

L-Lysine: 400 mg

L-Lysine is an amino acid that has been shown to promote osteoblasts, improve Calcium absorption from the GI tract, and prevent Calcium loss from the kidneys. Due to its ability to increase bone mass, it is a recommended supplement for adults with osteoporosis.

Selenium: 100 mcg

One of the most important antioxidant minerals – particularly with research linking high levels of oxidative stress in today’s environment to compromised bone health. In a large study (over 1200 subjects) those with the highest Selenium intake were 73% less likely to suffer a hip fracture versus those with the lowest intake.

Lycopene: 7 mg

In studies conducted at the University of Toronto, Lycopene has been shown to stimulate bone formation by osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) and has an inhibitory effect on the cells which break down bone mass (osteoclasts). Following these studies, researchers from Australia also showed higher dietary Lycopene intake with the prevention of bone loss in adults.
