Ultra Bone-Up® provides calcium as StimuCal™ – a MicroCrystallineHydroxyApatite (MCHA) extracted ingredient (from free-range New Zealand calves) that features a superior combination of the inorganic calcium lattice of MCHA within an organic protein environment.
StimuCal™ is high in natural type 1 collagen, which is the predominant protein found in bone. It is clinically proven that unlike the rapidly absorbed forms of calcium found in most supplements, StimuCal™ does not cause disproportionate changes in blood calcium levels like other forms such as carbonate, citrate or salt forms.
StimuCal™ is combined with vitamin D3, vitamin K2 (as MK-7 obtained through a natural fermentation process [a more bioavailable form of vitamin K]) and JarroSil® (activated silicone) to help support calcium deposition in bone and promote bone organic matrix formation. It also includes MBP® (basic milk protein), which activates osteoblasts and reduces osteoclast activity.
Potassium citrate is a systemic alkalizer that is added for optimal osteo support. Boron is a trace element important for calcium and bone metabolism, and boron has been shown to reduce the excretion of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.
Magnesium, Copper and Zinc (as L-OptiZinc®) are essential components of several enzymes involved in bone formation.
Ultra Bone Up ® also supports cardiovascular and arterial health
