Maintaining strong, healthy bones is a cornerstone to successful aging.  Unfortunately, even health-conscious adults often fail to consume enough calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients to protect against age-related loss of bone mineral density. New research on Vitamin D has led to an increasing number of experts to advise men and women over the age of 50 to protect against bone loss by consuming 800 - 1000 IU (and higher) of Vitamin D each day. The new Bone Restore formula provides 1000 IU of vitamin D3.  To achieve optimal calcium status, the new formula provides 1200 elemental milligrams of highly absorbable calcium. For calcium to prevent bone loss, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc, manganese and other nutrients should be available so calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. Another issue many people are not aware of is that many forms of calcium do not absorb particularly well. To overcome the impediments that preclude aging women from achieving optimal calcium status, a mineral formula has been designed that provides 1200 elemental milligrams from three different forms of calcium per daily dose, along with critically important nutrients needed to promote healthy bones. Bone Restore provides calcium along with nutrients like boron and silicon to further boost the body?s ability to maintain healthy bone density. Boron has been identified as one of the most important nutrients to help maintain bone health. As such, Life Extension has incorporated a powerful form of boron, called FruiteX-B OsteoBoron?, which is more bioavailable than boron citrate, the nutrient used in most commercial bone building supplements. FruiteX-B OsteoBoron?, is a natural boron/fructose/carbohydrate complex, similar to what is found in fruits and vegetables. Its unique boron-carbohydrate structure that easily binds to fructose may be one of the reasons for its health benefits. Boron in general is a crucial mineral in bone/joint health. Numerous studies have shown boron to contribute to the structural integrity of bone. Bone restore comes in capsules that burst open within five minutes of being swallowed, making the minerals and other nutrients immediately available for absorption.
