Osteo-Resist (180 Capsules)

New Roots Herbal's Strong Bones helps you build and maintain strong bones. Strong Bones contains the proper form of calcium (MCHC) from New Zealand with cofactors to promote immediate absorption for the prevention of osteoporosis.

Bones are wonderful. They act as the framework for our bodies and protect us in specific locations. Bones also have several important biological roles; these include the formation of formed elements of the blood such as red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells; nutrient storage; and a means of detoxification. It is important to support bone strength and growth; this is especially true for women, who are four times more at risk of suffering from osteoporosis. As we age, changes in women's estrogen levels can affect their bone mass; this often goes unnoticed, as osteoporosis is a silent disease.

Strong Bones contains a wide range of nutrients to protect against osteoporosis. The strength of Strong Bones begins with microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA), the most bioavailable form of calcium for human supplementation, which is also rich in protein and phosphorus. This is the same type of calcium found in humans. Our MCHA comes from pasture-fed New Zealand cattle, certified free of antibiotics, herbicides, pesticides, or mad cow disease. It is lyophilized (cold-dried) to offer the best possible quality. With the help of vitamin C, the amino acids ʟ‑lysine and ʟ‑proline improve calcium absorption and support collagen production.

Glucosamine sulfate is a natural component of healthy cartilage and aids in the production of connective tissue. Magnesium is included to facilitate calcium absorption. Zinc, copper, manganese, and boron are essential elements for bone growth, collagen formation, and the maintenance of strong connective tissue, as well as promoting calcium retention. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is essential to the formula to support carbohydrate metabolism and for its role in cellular energy production. Vitamin K2 is included for its dual role in bone formation and preventing bone loss. The most absorbable form of magnesium, diglycinate, has replaced magnesium oxide due to its superior absorption. Silica-rich horsetail promotes the strength and elasticity of connective tissue.

95% curcuminoids curcumin is among the new ingredients in Strong Bones. With a long history of use as an anti-inflammatory, recent studies have demonstrated its strength in the fight against osteoporosis. Lutein extract helps support levels of this carotenoid, which is insufficient in women with osteoporosis. 95% proanthocyanidin grape seed extract has been shown to increase bone density in animal trials.

Green tea with 75% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG); according to studies conducted in Hong Kong, green tea EGCG increases the activity of a key enzyme that promotes bone growth by 79%. EGCG also significantly increased bone mineralization levels in cells, which strengthens bones. Scientists have also shown that high concentrations of EGCG blocked the activity of a type of cells (osteoclasts) that demineralize or weaken bones.

Lycopene, a carotene found in tomatoes, protects bone-forming cells from oxidative stress. Studies conducted in the United States and the Netherlands have shown that folic acid supplementation helped prevent bone fractures in seniors. The coenzyme form of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, completes the formula; studies conducted at Tufts University identified methylcobalamin as a modifiable risk factor in research on bone mineral density.
