Bone Health Vitamins & Supplements
What Is Bone Health?
The human skeletal system comprises all of the bones and joints in the body. Within this system, each bone is a complex living organ made up of cells, protein fibres, and minerals. Our skeleton is the scaffolding that holds our bodies upright and protects the soft tissues that make up the rest of our bodies. Read more >-

Bone Health Supplements
The human skeletal system comprises all of the bones and joints in the body. Within this system, each bone is a complex living organ made up of cells, protein fibres, and minerals. Our skeleton is the scaffolding that holds our bodies upright and protects the soft tissues that make up the rest of our bodies. It also serves as a point of attachment for muscles, allowing them to move at the joints. In addition to providing support and structure, bone is the primary reservoir for many minerals and compounds essential to a healthy pH balance. Bone health and bone health supplements are critically important to our overall health and quality of life.
Risks of Poor Bone Health
The health of our bones is something we rarely think about until something goes dramatically wrong and we can no longer enjoy pain-free movement and flexibility. Age and lifestyle factors can reduce bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis (dangerously low bone density) and osteopenia (low bone mineral density; think of this condition as being halfway between healthy bones and osteoporosis). Unfortunately, statistics show that over 2.3 million Canadians live with osteoporosis.
As such, bone health should be seen as a public health issue that emphasizes prevention and early intervention to promote strong bones and prevent fractures and their consequences down the line.
Supplements That Support Bone Health
Since most people reach their peak bone mass by age 30, bone-healthy behaviours are essential from an early age to optimize bone health and reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis later in life. Bone-healthy behaviours include following a healthy lifestyle with balanced nutrition, regular exercise, strength training, and supplementation. There are a few key nutrients that are important for healthy bones. These include boron, calcium, collagen, magnesium, silica, and strontium, as well as vitamins D and K.
These nutrients are naturally occurring in different types of foods. They are also conveniently offered in supplement form, either on their own or in combination formulas, in all sorts of formats (capsules, tablets, chewables, gummies, liquids, and powders).
Benefits of Taking Bone Health Supplements
- Help Maintain Healthy Bone Density & Strength
- Improve Bone Micro Architecture
- Increase Bone Density
- Reduce The Risk Of Degenerative Bone Diseases
Prioritizing Your Bone Health
The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones, and even the healthiest diet may not always provide an adequate quantity of all of the essential nutrients required to sustain optimal bone health. Bone health supplements are an excellent idea throughout life and can function as an insurance policy against weakened bones, low bone density, and osteoporosis. Bone health supplements are especially critical in key demographics: pregnancy and lactation, and women and men over 40.
