Pharmanex Bone Formula

A bone is a living, growing tissue that changes throughout life. Bones change in size and density, with bone mass being greatest between the ages of 18 and 35. Regardless of age, it is important to keep an eye on the density of our bones. Bones are mainly made up of calcium, a mineral important for composition, and collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework for the skeleton. Over 90% of all calcium in the body is found in the bones and teeth. This mineral contributes to the health and density of bones and is necessary for their mass, structure, strength and overall health. As our skeleton supports the entire body, protects vital organs and ensures we can stand and walk upright, strong and healthy bones are important for staying active throughout life. Bone Formula contains several vitamins that also contribute to strong bones. Vitamin D, for example, helps us absorb calcium from our diet and store it in our bones. This vitamin is formed in the skin when exposed to sunlight, but is also absorbed through food. It is important that the body gets enough vitamin D. Vitamin K also plays a major role in building bone by depositing calcium in the bones, while vitamin C is responsible for normal collagen formation as a structural component of our bones. Other minerals included in Bone Formula are magnesium, manganese and zinc, which equally contribute to the maintenance of healthy bones.
