Bone Health Requires Multiple Nutrient InputsThe popular literature would have us believe that by taking calcium supplements we can keep our bones strong into old age. But the medical literature tells a different story: calcium taken by itself does not reliably conserve bone mineral density or reduce risk of bone fractures. Rather the clinical research indicates bone integrity is better conserved by supplementing with other minerals and nutrients in addition to calcium.Calcium Mineralization Of Bone Requires A Preformed Matrix.Fully formed bone is a connective tissue matrix infiltrated with microscopic calcium hydroxyapatite crystals that confer bulking and considerable mechanical strength. The process of calcium deposition can occur only where a bone matrix is in place to “ accept” it. Bone matrix is analogous to a grid of steel bars over which concrete is poured— without these “ rebars” the poured concrete will be flawed and vulnerable to fracturing under mechanical strain. The bone matrix structure is primarily a web of large fibrous collagen molecules interspersed with smaller amounts of other proteins and glycosaminoglycans (protein-carbohydrate complexes). Calcium Bone Maker Complex supplies a very similarly composed semi-assembled collagen web in the form of ossein microcrystalline hydroxyapatite complex. This organically prepared bone extract includes collagen and the other bone matrix proteins along with bone growth factors (small proteins that enhance bone growth and renewal) highly bioavailable calcium and other mineral building blocks for the bone matrix.
