Description
Within your bones there are special cells that remodel the bone by either building up (mineralization) your bone or breaking down (resorption) your bone. Osteoporosis is the loss of bone density and strength due to an increase in break down of the bone. The most important way to reduce the chance of fracture of osteoporotic bones is by prevention treatment with calcium and vitamin D supplements.
Mechanism of Action: (How Does It Work)
Calcium: 99% of total body calcium is found in bones and teeth; it functions in maintaining strong bones, mineralization of bones, and cell communication for bone building.
Magnesium: 60% of magnesium in the body is found associated with bone; it is part of the crystal lattice as well as on the surface. Magnesium plays a role in the mineralization of bone and in calcium uptake by controlling secretion of the hormone responsible for calcium balance in the body.
Vitamin D3: In the intestine, vitamin D3 plays a part in the mineralization of bone; it also functions in the modeling and remodeling of bone.
Vitamin K: Activates proteins involved in bone remodeling.
Zinc: Important in calcium uptake; supports the production of proteins involved in bone metabolism.
