What is Vitacost Bone Builder†?

Vitacost Bone Builder† combines four top bone-health vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K, plus antioxidant lycopene. Unlike many popular calcium and bone-support formulas, which require swallowing several bulky, rock-hard tablets, Vitacost Bone Builder features small, smooth softgels. A single (2-softgel) serving supplies:

• Calcium, 500 mg. As calcium citrate (water-soluble form) that’s absorbed well on a full or empty stomach and calcium malate (a calcium salt of malic acid)
• Vitamin D, 1,000 IU. As vitamin D3, a preferred form—the same type naturally produced by the body when skin is exposed to sunlight
• Magnesium, 200 mg. Supplies half of the Daily Value for this essential mineral
• Vitamin K1, 100 mcg. The natural form of vitamin K found in vegetables and other foods
• Vitamin K2, 45 mcg. A biologically active form of vitamin K
• Lycopene, 15 mg. Well-known antioxidant nutrient found in tomatoes and other red/orange fruits and vegetables

How does Vitacost Bone Builder† support health?

• Calcium is an essential ingredient of bone that must be constantly replenished.*
• Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis by slowing the rate of bone loss for people with a family history of the disease, post-menopausal women and elderly men and women.
• Magnesium contributes to calcium absorption.*
• Magnesium helps build strong bones by converting vitamin D to its active form and setting in motion key enzymes that stimulate bone cells.*
• Vitamin D contributes to bone strength, as proper levels create optimum conditions for bone formation.*
• Vitamin K is necessary for osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) to activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to bones.* Therefore, adequate amounts of vitamin K make certain that calcium is properly delivered to bone and that arterial health is maintained.*
• Lycopene is a carotenoid, or antioxidant, that helps protect healthy cells from free radical damage.*
