OsteoPrev by Ortho Molecular Products for bone density
Key Benefits
- Promotes healthy bone density
- Increases skeletal strength
- Improves bone remodeling
- Provides chelated minerals for enhanced bioavailability
How OsteoPrev Works
- Ipriflavone: an isoflavone compound described as activating osteoblast cells to promote new bone formation and increasing cell-signaling proteins that may inhibit osteoclast activity
- Calcium (citrate-malate and hydroxyapatite forms): included to improve calcium absorption and utilization for healthy bone density
- Magnesium: involved in bone formation, supports calcium absorption, and supports vitamin D3 conversion in the body
- Vitamin D3: supports bone health and aids absorption of calcium and phosphate from the GI tract
- Vitamins K1 and K2: involved in synthesizing osteocalcin and supporting calcium transport and embedding into bone tissue
- Boron: described as supporting skeletal strength when boron levels are improved
- Phosphorus: supports bone mineralization and is a component of hydroxyapatite crystals
OsteoPrev Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking nutritional support for healthy bone density
- Those looking to support skeletal strength and bone remodeling
- Individuals who want a formula featuring bioavailable mineral forms
