Absorb Science Calcitonic-K2, 100 capsules

Calcitonic-K2 (100 vegetable capsules)

This is a unique multi-mineral formulation utilizing high quality, bioavailable minerals (and vitamins) to aid in the structural maintenance and integrity of bones. Calcitonic-K2 does this while mitigating the risk of coronary heart disease, which poorly formulated products do not take into account. With Calcitonic-K2 you’re ensured our micro-encapsulated, stable, bio-identical Vitamin K2 (MK-7) takes the calcium where it belongs – in your bones and not your arteries.

Key Points:

✓ Bioavailable mineral chelates used: Zinc Bisglycinate, Magnesium Malate, Di-Calcium Malate (ex. 29% Calcium– compared to Calcium Citrate, which is 19% Calcium)
✓ Plant sourced Vitamin K2 or MK-7 is >98% trans-isomers. This is the biologically active form of K2, bio-identical to naturally occurring MK-7. There are no Cis isomers which are biologically inactive.
✓ Our Vitamin K2 or MK-7 is microencapsulated, due to its sensitivity to alkaline environments and light. The result a much more stable MK-7 to regular MK-7.
✓ No proprietary blends. You know exactly what’s in it, and how much
✓ No potentially allergic-causing fillers like magnesium stearate

______________________
CALCIUM is one of the most important minerals for building and integrity of bones. In fact, 99% of calcium is in our bones and teeth.

MAGNESIUM assists in the activation of Vitamin D, which both help regulate calcium and phosphate homeostasis to influence the growth and maintenance of bones.

BORON induces tissue mineralization by regulating the expression of genes related to tissue mineralization and the actions of key hormones (ex. Vitamin D). Boron has been shown to increase serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.

SELENIUM plays a powerful dual role: it lessens the activation of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone), and supports the creation and activity of osteoblasts (your bone-building cells).

SILICA (Bamboo) forms cross-links between collagen and proteoglycans which are found in bones, and serves to strengthen bones. Silicon is present in all body tissues, but the tissues with the highest concentrations of silicon are bone and other connective tissue including skin, hair, arteries, and nails.

ZINC suppresses osteoclastogenesis, which causes Bone Resorption. This is a process where
osteoclasts (bone cells) break down the tissue in bones and release the minerals.

VITAMIN K2 (MENAQUINONE-7) is a vital vitamin which has the following functions:• K2 alongside vitamin D3 improves vertebral bone mass
• K2 improves bone microarchitecture by transporting calcium to bones instead of arteries
• K2 alongside Vitamin D3 improves vertebral bone mass
• An important population-based study demonstrated high dietary consumption of K2 was
associated with a significant reduction in arterial calcification, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality
• A population-based study found a 9% reduced risk for coronary heart disease for each
additional 10 µg vitamin K2 consumed
