As you age, supporting strong bones becomes essential. This upgraded formula combines the same essential nutrients—calcium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2—to support bone health. The upgraded Bio Calcium with vitamin D3 and K2, allows for a much higher daily calcium intake and more flexible dosing options.
Calcium is a mineral required by the body to build and maintain strong bones. A diet deficient in calcium can lead to osteoporosis in later life. Calcium may help prevent osteoporosis when dietary intake is inadequate. Vitamins D3 and K2 work together to direct calcium to your bones and to support calcium absorption.
Aquamin Forte TG ® is a highly bioavailable source of calcium and magnesium naturally produced from calcareous marine algae (Lithothamnion sp.). Harvested from the wild North Atlantic seabed, this seaweed boasts a rich mineral profile, particularly abundant in calcium. Almost all calcium in the body is stored in bones and teeth, giving them structure and hardness.
Calcium citrate: is a bioavailable form of calcium. Research suggests* that it is less dependent on stomach acid for absorption, making it a suitable choice for individuals with low stomach acid, and those taking acid-reducing medications.
Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 plays an essential role in regulating blood calcium levels by helping absorption in the intestine and its excretion through the kidneys. Vitamin D3 also supports healthy immune system function.
MenaQ7®: is a patented form of vitamin K2, which is a breakthrough in vitamin K2 research and development. Its purity is defined by up to 99% pure menaquinone-7 (MK-7), and all-trans isomers providing higher bioavailability. Vitamin K2 activates specific proteins, which helps bind calcium. These proteins help move calcium from the blood into the bones, making them stronger. While Vitamin K2 also supports blood and blood vessel health.
