Product Details
BONE BOOSTERTM is a unique formula containing vitamin K2 and vitamin D3. Although women are taking calcium in record numbers, there has not been a decrease in the rates of osteoporosis and osteopenia. It is essential to take bone-building nutrients including vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 along with COLLAGEN PLUS to prevent fractures and promote bone health.
Vitamin K2 and Bone Health
Vitamin K is associated with osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are cells that build bone and produce a protein called osteocalcin. Osteocalcin is a protein-like glue that incorporates calcium into the bones. Without vitamin K2, osteocalcin cannot be produced in the body. Vitamin K2 redirects the calcium into bones.
Vitamin K2 MK-7 and Heart Health
Studies have shown that an adequate intake of vitamin K2 helps to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. In one study, those who supplemented with vitamin K2 had a lower risk of aortic calcifi cation and coronary heart disease than those who supplemented with vitamin K1.
Vitamin K2 and Blood Clotting Vitamin K1 is used by your liver as a clotting factor, whereas vitamin K2 is used by the brain, vasculature, breasts and kidneys. In fact, in the brain, vitamin K2 contributes to the production of myelin and fats essential for brain health and protects against oxidative damage. Deficiencies can lead to nose bleeds, easy bruising and extremely heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia). It is important to take vitamin K2 with Estrosmart to help alleviate heavy periods.
Advantages of Vitamin K2 Over Other Forms of Vitamin K
- 10 times more absorption than other forms of vitamin K
- Regulates calcium in blood vessels to promote bone health
- MK-7 created probiotics in the gastrointestinal system
- Non-animal sourced and suitable for vegetarians/vegans
Vitamin D3 for Strong Bones Like vitamin K2, vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption. A defi ciency in vitamin D leads to decreased calcium absorption, promoting osteoporosis and other conditions such as osteoarthritis, muscle cramps and twitching, joint pain and stiff ness, backache, tooth decay and hair loss. Vitamin D is essential for the manufacture of thyroid hormone, and many people with low thyroid are vitamin-D deficient.
Are You Vitamin-D Deficient?
Many people are deficient in vitamin D, which is formed in the body by the action of the sun's ultraviolet rays on the skin. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at manufacturing vitamin D. Vitamin D is strongly anti-cancer and this connection is one of the most important areas of study today. It is important to choose the most active and powerful form of vitamin D: vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).
