Why These Natural Ingredients?

Ipriflavone  600 mg
A plant estrogen-like compound studied in both animal and human trials, ipriflavone is believed to slow the rate of bone loss and may even increase the rate of bone formation. Women with osteoporosis given 600 mg per day of ipriflavone had a six percent increase in bone mineral density after twelve months, while the placebo group lost 0.3 percent in bone density.

Vitamin K  1000 mcg
Vitamin K is required for the synthesis of osteocalcin, a bone protein integral for bone formation. Osteocalcin provides the structure and order to bone tissue; without it, bones would be fragile and easily broken. In humans, vitamin K levels fall during recovery from a fracture evidencing that this nutrient is actually drawn from the rest of the body to the site of the fracture. Vitamin K2, menaquinones, are produced naturally by bacteria unlike its more popular cousin vitamin K1 which is found in greater concentrations in green leafy vegetables.

Vitamin D  1000 IU
Vitamin D is known to be responsible for day-to-day maintenance of calcium and mineral homeostasis. Further, vitamin D is proven to support healthy bone density, an important component of strong bones. Many researchers point to an unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D deficiency among older Americans, suggesting that of those 200,000+ persons who suffer hip fractures each year, many are vitamin D deficient.
