Additional Information
Bioglan Calcium Bone Builder provides:
• Calcium - An essential mineral for maintaining good bone health. This formula contains calcium in four highly recommended compound forms
for a wider range of absorption, providing superior absorbency and bio-availability
• Magnesium - Essential for the metabolism of calcium in bone. Magnesium supplementation is recommended at a 1:2 ratio to Calcium
• Vitamin D3 - Necessary for absorption of calcium and phosphorus, and incorporating these into the bone
• Vitamin K - Plays a significant role in bone mineralisation
• Boron - Plays a role in converting Vitamin D into its active form
• Vitamin C - Essential in manufacture of collagen, the major component of the protein matrix
• Zinc, Manganese and Copper - Important cofactors in the growth and maintenance of strong bones
• Folate, Vitamins B6 & B12 - Help regulate homocysteine levels, high levels of which have been linked to osteoporosis
Calcium plays an essential role in building and maintaining bone. The main mineral in bones is calcium, accounting for approx 67% of bone weight. Bones also act as the body's reservoir for calcium- when the amount of calcium in your blood falls below a certain level the body draws calcium from the bones. Calcium is used in important functions of the body eg heart, muscles, blood and nerves. Calcium levels in the body need to be replenished daily by consuming calcium in the diet.
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones lose their density and strength becoming weak, fragile and brittle. Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose 'bone building' minerals such as calcium and other minerals important to bone health, and the body cannot replace these minerals fast enough to keep the bones strong. As a result, bones become thinner and less dense, possibly increasing the risk of fracture.
