Build Better Bone Density in 12 Months
BONEhealth™
Virtually everyone knows that bones need calcium. The FDA has determined that adequate calcium intake throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. But not all sources of calcium are the same!
Do you want to maintain your bone density — or increase it?
After the age of 35, both men and women lose bone at a rate of about 1-2% per year. In the 5-7 years around menopause, bone loss accelerates to a rate of about 5% per year.1
The good news is that bone loss is not inevitable with age. It’s simply due to a lack of calcium in the diet.
A very interesting study found that while women who followed their regular diets (providing 683 mg of calcium/day) lost 3% of their bone density over a two-year period, healthy post-menopausal women who added four glasses of milk a day to their diets (providing 1028 mg of calcium per/day had minimal bone loss.2
But you can do better than that.
ESC® (Eggshell Calcium) — the form of calcium featured in BONEhealth — does more than just maintain the current status of your bones. It actually increases your bone density.*
BONEhealth is superior to other calcium products because it:
- Is easier for your body to absorb. ESC® is a 100% natural, highly concentrated source of calcium plus naturally occurring transporter proteins that enhance calcium absorption.3 In vitro studies demonstrate an almost 20% increase in calcium bioavailability with ESC® compared to calcium carbonate.
- Doesn’t just maintain bone density — increases bone density.* A recent double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trial in post-menopausal women found that eggshell calcium significantly increased bone mineral density of the hip within 12 months.*4
- Includes the two nutrients calcium must have — magnesium and vitamin D — in order to be utilized.
- Is easy to digest. BONEhealth will not cause the digestive discomfort, bloating and constipation typical of other calcium products.
- Is an environmentally friendly product. Most calcium products are mined from the earth. However, ESC® is made from a completely renewable resource: eggshells!
- Does not contain unsafe levels of heavy metals that can plague other calcium products.
It’s time to make the switch to a better calcium. Switch to BONEhealth today!
