CanPrev Osteo Prolong - 120 V-Caps

Osteo Prolong is a multi-mineral and vitamin supplement and a factor in the maintenance of good health.
It helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth. calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin d, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. osteo Prolong helps maintain healthy immune functioning and tissue formation as well, it helps to maintain proper muscle function and healthy skin.

Osteo Prolong is an advanced formulation specifically designed for maintaining optimal bone health. it contains the perfect blend of the finest natural ingredients, in doses required to be truly effective. there is a general misconception that osteoporosis is caused by a deficiency of dietary calcium and that this deficiency can be remedied by taking a basic calcium supplement. in reality, other vitamins and minerals also play an important role in the fight against osteoporosis. osteo Prolong contains calcium and magnesium with boron, zinc, vitamin K and 1000 iu's of vitamin d3, which makes this formula a powerful supplement to help maintain good bone health.

  Detailed Ingredient Descriptions:
  
  Calcium (citrate chelated and carbonate blend) is an essential nutrient, involved with most metabolic processes in the body, as well as providing mechanical structure and rigidity to the teeth and bones. calcium is the major constituent of bones. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of all calcium in our bodies is stored in the bones. it is widely acknowl- edged that inadequate calcium intake results in reduced bone mass and subsequently osteoporosis. calcium loss therefore increases our susceptibility to fractures.
  
  Magnesium (bisglycinate) is important in a calcium supplement because it mediates the conversion of vitamin d into a usable form. Since magnesium works closely with calcium, it is important to have an appropriate ratio of both minerals in order for them to be effective. chelated mineral supplements (such as magnesium glycinate) are gener- ally easier to digest and have been proven to provide improved mineral absorption.
  
  Zinc is important for the uptake of calcium by the body in addition to playing a critical role in supporting the immune system. Preliminary studies suggest that zinc stimulates bone formation and inhibits bone loss, therefore it is a promising nutrient in the preven- tion and treatment of osteoporosis.
  
  Boron assists with the proper metabolism of vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and vitamin d, involved with bone development. Boron is essential in the conversion of vitamin d to its active form. Boron may also reduce calcium loss by in- creasing the potency of estrogen's beneficial effects on skeletal health. there are some indications in the research that both the composition and function of our bones, as well as their necessary mineral levels, will deteriorate if there is a depleted state of boron. there is also some preliminary evidence that boron may be helpful in decreasing the severity of some symptoms of osteoarthritis.
  
  Vitamin K1 (phytonadione) is necessary for building and maintaining healthy bones and is responsible for the conversion of bone protein, osteocalcin, into its active form. osteo- calcin binds with calcium to help hold the calcium in place within the bone structure.
  
  Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally produced in the body when the sun's ultraviolet rays strike the skin and trigger synthesis. Natural vitamin d is found in only a few foods. Vitamin d is a prohormone, a precursor to its active form, calcitriol. calcitriol is widely known for its important role in regulating body levels of cal- cium and phosphorus and in the mineralization of bone. Vitamin d is a critical vitamin because the body cannot absorb calcium without it. low levels of vitamin d and insuf- ficient exposure to sunlight (less than 20 minutes per day) are associated with osteopo- rosis. there is strong evidence that the combination of vitamin d with calcium can be helpful for preventing osteoporosis, healing bone fractures caused by osteoporosis and decrease the risk of future bone fractures.
  
  Combination Rationale
  research has shown that calcium supplementation (with vitamin d) decreases meno- pause related bone loss reducing the rate of fractures. Many "high-risk" seniors are de- ficient in vitamin d, so supplementation with calcium and vitamin d is essential. Supple- mentation with a high quality calcium/magnesium product can increase bone density between 1% and 10% per year. canPrev has gone one step further with the osteo Pro- long formula by including the complementary vitamins and minerals, zinc, boron and vitamin K, which ensure even greater absorption and utilization of the calcium. calcium and its associated minerals may also be helpful for problems of loose teeth, periodontal disease and gum inflammation (gingivitis). osteo Prolong has the ideal combination of calcium, magnesium and supportive minerals to assist in dental repair.
  
  CanPrev's osteo-Prolong is formulated with vitamin K1. this ingredient was chosen, as opposed to vitamin K2, as it supplies a higher vitamin K content per microgram dosage. Vitamin K is approved for use at a maximum adult dose of 120mcg per day (whether K1 or K2). Most vitamin K research for this dosage was conducted using vitamin K1, espe- cially in the treatment of osteoporosis.
  
  Osteo Prolong contains calcium citrate and calcium carbonate. Absorption of cal- cium is improved when it is chelated (bound) to a citrate. calcium carbonate contains a much higher elemental calcium value than any other calcium form.
  
  Combining the citrate with the carbonate produces a very high elemental value and a highly absorb- able product. Both calcium citrate and calcium carbonate have been scientifically proven to be of equal bioavailability, especially when taken without food or by those who have normal gastric acid levels. osteo Prolong provides an optimal ratio of cal- cium to magnesium for proper bone support.
  
  At last a Calcium Supplement that is Easy to Swallow!
  Not all calcium supplements are created equal. Many supplements come in hard tab- lets, which are excessively large and have rough edges, making them exceptionally difficult to swallow. osteo Prolong is different. it comes in an easy to swallow and easy to absorb capsule form. for those who have difficulty swallowing, the capsules may be opened and the powder can be mixed into water or juice for very easy consumption.
