Bone loss occurs as a result of natural aging, but stress, air pollution, cigarette smoke, alcohol, caffeine, and quite possibly excessive amounts of sugar, refined carbohydrates and animal protein in the diet may step up the process. This formula is ideal for people who are at risk for bone loss for any reason. Canyon Ranch Bone Nutrients supplement provides a broad array of nutrients in effective doses, essential for maintaining and building healthy bones. It is designed to be used with the Canyon Ranch Multi-Vitamin and Minerals Formula.

Calcium:
Included is the easy-to-absorb form of calcium citrate, which is effortlessly assimilated and doesn’t contribute to digestive problems common with calcium carbonate.

Vitamin D3:
Ample vitamin D is needed to maintain optimal bone mass, and Canyon Ranch has elected to use D3, which research has shown to be more effective in increasing serum levels than the D2 form. We are providing the higher doses recently found to be essential and beneficial to maintain health.

Magnesium:
Even though magnesium is the second most abundant mineral in your bones, it is one of the minerals most frequently deficient in people’s diets. This mineral is also important for heart and brain health.

Vitamin K:
This vitamin is essential for the production of two important bone proteins. The Bone Nutrients supplement provides 1 mg of vitamin K – an amount shown in research to be associated with optimum maintenance of bone mass.

Boron, Zinc and Copper:
These trace minerals are all known to be essential for bone health. This formula provides high-quality amino acid chelates – the most bioavailable forms.

Silica:
Extracted from the natural horsetail plant, silica has recently been shown to be involved in the production of the collagen framework of bone.
