Jarrow Bone-Up (Vegetarian / Vegan), 120 Tab

What does Bone-Up ® (Vegetarian) do?

Vegetarian Bone-Up / Vegan Bone-Up provides Calcium Citrate, a vegetarian/vegan source of the essential mineral calcium and a form that has demonstrated superior absorption. Also, VEGETARIAN / VEGAN Bone Up is formulated with vitamin K2 as MK-7 (a more bioavailable form of vitamin K) and vitamin D2 to support the deposition of calcium into the bones as well as to assist in building up the organic bone matrix.* Magnesium, Vitamin C, Manganese, Potassium citrate and Boron are also added for optimal osteo support and absorption.*

HEALTH CLAIM: Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life. For best results, use with Jarrow Formulas JarroSil ™, the  biologically Activated Silicon ™.

Who Can Benefit from this Product?

Many Vegetarians and Vegans are not meeting the current recommendations for adequate calcium intake via diet or with supplement use. This product provides needed calcium, but also includes other essentials for proper calcium utilization by the body.

Especially useful for postmenopausal women, this product is geared toward those concerned with maintaining skeletal strength and joint health as they age.*

Research has indicated that 85% of women over the age of 20 and at least 50% of men from age 35 consume less than the RDI for calcium. Caffeine, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, high protein diets and soda pops, particularly colas that are high in phosphorous can deplete calcium.

In addition, calcium absorption has long been thought to be stomachacid dependent, but both stomach acid production and calcium absorption decline with age.

Bone-Up ® (Vegetarian)

Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up is an most advanced and complete nutritional regimen 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.

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% of the weight of bone, and the collagenous fibers make up the remaining 33%.*

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% 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% to 2% of their bone per year while men lose 0.5%-0.7%. Between 45 and 75 years of age, women lose 30% of their skeletal structure and men lose 15%.

Who Needs to Supplement Calcium?
Research has indicated that 85% of women over the age of 20 and at least 50% of men from age 35 consume less than the RDI for calcium. Caffeine, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, high protein diets and soda pops, particularly colas that are high in phosphorous can deplete calcium.

In addition, calcium absorption has long been thought to be stomachacid dependent, but both stomach acid production and calcium absorption decline with age.
