Jarrow Formulas BoneUp – 120 Capsules – 60 Servings – For Bone Support & Skeletal Nutrition – Includes Naturally Derived Vitamin D3, K2 (as MK-7) & 1000 mg Calcium – Gluten Free – Non-GMO

Description

Jarrow Formulas BoneUp includes StimuCal MicroCrystalline
HydroxyApatite (MCHA), a naturally derived and bioavailable source of calcium.
Each serving of BoneUp provides 1000 milligrams of calcium from Stimucal MCHA,
helping you to receive calcium for supporting bone health and density.
StimuCal MCHA supports bone mineral density more effectively than traditional
calcium carbonate supplements. This means that BoneUp can help support the
density of your bones, supporting overall bone health. In addition to
calcium, StimuCal MCHA also provides bone proteins, including type I collagen.
These proteins play a role in supporting bone health and your skeletal
system. Jarrow Formulas BoneUp is non-GMO. BoneUp is also gluten-free,
allowing those individuals with dietary restrictions to confidently
incorporate it into their routine. For optimal results, it is recommended that
adults take 2 capsules of BoneUp 3 times per day with meals (for a total of
6), or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional. By following
this intake regimen, you can maximize the absorption and utilization of the
essential micronutrients contained in BoneUp. These statements have not been
evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Jarrow Formulas Bone-
Up provides comprehensive supplemental nutritional support for maintaining
strong, healthy bones. Bone-Up has been a featured product of Jarrow Formulas
for some time and has been updated through the years to reflect the latest
scientific findings regarding skeletal health.Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up, 120

protein and/or high phosphorous diet Promotes bone density with comprehensive
supplemental nutrition. Provides the essentials for proper calcium utilization
by the body. View larger.Bone Mass and Ossein Hydroxyapatite In 1982, an
important calcium supplementation study was concluded and reported by the
Dept. of Medicine and Radiology, Royal Free Hospital in London, England.
Fifty-three women with reduced calcium absorption and accelerated bone loss
were separated into three groups and studied for over 14 months. At the
conclusion of the study, only the women that received 1,000 mg of calcium from
ossein hydroxyapatite (OHC) along with vitamin D showed significant support
for bone-health. OHC produces more prolonged calcium balance than soluble
calcium salts. It also allows the bone osteoblast cells to be more receptive
to its components and to build bone tissue. Furthermore, OHC provides both the
organic and inorganic constituents found in human bone: the hydroxyapatite
microcrystals consist of calcium, phosphorous, oxygen, and hydrogen; the trace
minerals zinc, strontium, silicon and iron; and proteins, amino acids and
aminoglycans.Bone Health Bone consists of calcium and phosphorous crystals
embedded in a framework of interlocking protein fibers. The protein fibers are
made primarily of collagen. The mineral crystals give bone hardness, strength,
and rigidity. Collagen fibers impart their quality of flexibility.
Hydroxyapatite composes 67 percent of the weight of bone, and the collagenous
fibers make up the remaining 33 percent. The average adult has 1,000 – 1,200
grams of calcium in the body. Bones are the body’s largest calcium storehouse
and will release calcium into the bloodstream in order to ensure correct blood
levels of calcium. Thus, blood calcium levels can be normal while bone loss
can be considerable. Between 2 – 4 percent of a person’s skeleton is remodeled
every year. This means that calcium and other minerals leave the bone in a
process called resorption and then must be “remodeled” or replaced. Whether
due to poor nutrition or reduced hormone levels with the onset of aging, the
loss of calcium and other minerals from the bone creates tiny holes that make
bones weak and brittle, particularly if collagen is being lost. It has been
estimated that post-menopausal women lose 0.7 percent to 2 percent of their
bone per year while men lose 0.5 percent-0.7 percent. Between 45 and 75 years
of age, women lose 30 percent of their skeletal structure and men lose 15
percent.Calcium Plus It starts with the finest source of calcium available:
New Zealand or Australian bovine bone hydroxyapatite from chemical-free,
range-grazed calves less than two years old (bones from veal calves are never
used). Skeletal health, however, requires more than calcium. Scientific
evidence conclusively demonstrates the need for other nutrients like vitamin
D, vitamin K, potassium, magnesium, boron, and trace minerals such as zinc,
copper, and manganese.Who Needs to Supplement Calcium? Research has indicated
that 85 percent of women over the age of 20 and at least 50 percent of men
from age 35 consume less than the RDI for calcium. Caffeine, alcohol, sugar,
high protein diets and soda (particularly sodas that are high in phosphorous)
can deplete calcium. In addition, calcium absorption has long been thought to
be stomach-acid dependent, but both stomach acid production and calcium
absorption decline with age.Bone-Up Clinical Trial The results of a clinical
trial published in the Journal of Nutritional & Environmental Medicine
(DiSilvestro RA et al. J Nutr Environ Med. 2007; 16(1):26-32) found that
exercise and supplementation of calcium, vitamin D3 and other micronutrients
from Bone-Up significantly improved bone health in young adult women. In an
8-week double-blind placebo-controlled study of 24 female students ages 18 to
24, supplementation with Bone-Up (not placebo) was found to produce
statistically significant decreases in markers of bone degradation, while
increasing levels of plasma bone specific alkaline phosphatase (an indicator
of bone synthesis), plasma 2,5-OH-vitamin D (an indicator of vitamin D
nutritional status) and plasma parathyroid hormone. Health Claim: In
conjunction with regular, weight-bearing exercise and a healthy diet, calcium
helps teen and young adult women build bone mass and maintain bone health, and
may reduce their risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily calcium intake
above 2,000 mg is not likely to provide additional benefit. Adequate calcium
intake is also linked to reduced osteoporosis by slowing bone loss in older
men and women.About Jarrow Formulas Jarrow Formulas’ complete line of over
