Life Extension Bone Strength Collagen Formula, 120 capsules

Enhanced bone health Collagen plays an important role in bone strength.1 Consuming foods that boost the body’s natural collagen production to help maintain bone health dates back to ancient cultures. But now this formulation with KoAct makes achieving that goal simpler with a collagen and calcium blend that helps maintain bone strength and mineral density.2,3 This compound promotes bone flexibility and helps support healthy bone mineral density. Silicon from bamboo extract and dried plum extracts offer additional minerals and polyphenols to support bone health. To help optimize bone strength and flexibility, Bone Strength Collagen Formula uses these ingredients: Vitamin D3 This critical nutrient supports absorption of calcium into the bloodstream and how much of it enters and leaves bone tissue. D3 is also a vital co-factor in bone mineralization through absorption of calcium and phosphorus.4 Calcium KoAct is a patented formula of chelated calcium and hydrolyzed collagen peptides. KoAct was designed to encourage collagen support and turnover while supporting optimal bone mineral density and strength. A clinical study showed that KoAct improved bone health in postmenopausal women by increasing bone synthesis and decreasing bone resorption.3 Magnesium Magnesium is a critical component of our skeleton, with 50 to 60 percent of all magnesium in the body found in bone.5 Magnesium also positively influences the bone mineral matrix and its ability to metabolize minerals needed for supporting bone health.6 Silicon This nutrient plays an important role in bone formation through the synthesis and/or stabilization of collagen.7 Dried Plum Polyphenols in dried plum support osteoblast (bone-building cells) activity and function by upregulating cell-signaling compounds and enhancing the expression of an enzyme that is involved in collagen cross-linking.8,9 Boron Boron is a trace mineral with beneficial effects on maintaining bone and joint strength.10 This formula contains patented FruiteX B OsteoBoron, a powerful form of boron made from a calcium/carbohydrate/boron complex similar to what is found in fruits and vegetables. FruiteX B OsteoBoron is more bioavailable than boron citrate, the nutrient used in most commercial bone building supplements. Bone Strength Collagen Formula can be part of a comprehensive nutritional program in conjunction with proper resistance exercise.
