Life Extension Bone restore with vitamin K2 120caps

Throughout life, osteoblasts build the bone marrow and fill it with calcium. At the same time, osteoclasts are just as active in breaking down and reabsorbing bone. This delicate balance is regulated by many factors, including systemic hormones and cytokines.

As we age, this delicate balance is lost. Part of the bone density is already lost by the time women reach menopause but the rate of loss can increase up to tenfold in the first five years after menopause.

Loss of bone density is not only associated with calcium deficiency, but also with inadequate intake of a number of other nutrients including magnesium and vitamin D3. In order for calcium to help maintain healthy bones, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and other nutrients must be available so that calcium and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. In addition, many forms of calcium are not very well absorbed.

Bone Restore provides three different forms of calcium, along with magnesium, boron, zinc, silicon, manganese, vitamin D3 and K2 required for healthy bones.

Numerous human clinical trials reveal that vitamin K plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone. Inadequate vitamin K status leads to

increased circulating levels of hypocarboxylated osteocalcin which appears to be associated with increased bone loss in postmenopausal women.

Vitamin K2 (menakinone) is found in meat, eggs and dairy products and is also made by bacteria in the gut.
