Vegetarian Strong Bones features tricalcium phosphate in lieu of bovine-sourced microcrystalline hydroxyapatite, with a botanical form of glucosamine sulfate to replace the crustacean type in our regular and boron-free Strong Bones formulas.
Our synergistic formula contains the complete roster of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients critical for building and maintaining the strong skeletal system you depend upon.
Recommended daily dosage is 1000 mg of elemental calcium; however, what makes this formula complete are vitamins including D3 (cholecalciferol) that improve calcium absorption, and nutrients such as green tea extract that stimulate bone growth and mineralization while interfering with the activity of cells that break down bones (osteoclasts).
Vegetarian Strong Bones is the ideal supplement for the maintenance of healthy bones which serve as the foundation for virtually every aspect of your health and vitality.
BE ADVISED: The curcumin contained in this product has been Carbon-14 tested to be 100% natural and contains no adulterants.
Adults: Take 3 capsules one to three times daily with food or as directed by your health-care practitioner. If you are taking other medications, take this product a few hours before or after them.
