Bone Strength Formula with KoAct
Bone provides the framework for the body and is made mostly of collagen, with calcium phosphate adding the strength necessary to withstand the stress associated with mobility. The importance of collagen in maintaining bone strength and preventing osteoporosis is receiving increased attention in the medical and scientific communities. Collagen, a type of protein molecule, increases the flexibility of bone. This enables bone to absorb compression forces and resist fractures resulting from stress and twisting. According to research published in a 2007 issue of "Nanotechnology," collagen is vital to bone health and strength, and a collagen deficiency results in weak, brittle bones.
As we age, our bones are constantly renewed and replaced through a cyclic process called remodeling. As old bone tissue breaks down, new tissue is formed to replace it. Unfortunately, once we reach our 20s, bone loss begins to exceed the amount of new bone being deposited. Osteoporosis will develop if bone replacement cannot keep up with bone loss.
According to the National Institutes of Health, osteoporosis threatens an estimated 44 million Americans and causes more than 1.5 million bone fractures every year. While some risk factors for osteoporosis cannot be controlled, such as gender, age, ethnicity, and family history, others can be reduced or eliminated. Adequate daily intake of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D, and a daily regime of weight-bearing exercise have been shown to prevent osteoporosis and treat existing cases.
While a number of prescription medications are currently available to treat osteoporosis, these medications focus on reducing bone loss instead of on building new bone. Moreover, many of these medications cause serious side effects in some people, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A study conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles showed that the use of Fosamax increases the risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw, a potentially disfiguring condition that causes jaw decay and death. Other studies show an increased risk for potentially fatal cardiovascular complications in patients using bisphosphate medications, such as atrial fibrillation.
Protect and Heal Your Bones with Bone Strength Formula
Bone Strength Formula with KoAct combines a patent-pending chelated form of calcium and collagen with other nutrients essential to bone health, including 1000 IU of vitamin D, 100 mg of magnesium, silica, boron, and dried plum. These ingredients work together to reduce the risk of age-related fractures by improving bone strength and flexibility. Side effects are minimal and transient, and the supplement can be taken with or without food.
KoAct is designed to enhance collagen support while increasing the density and strength of bones. Collagen Calcium Chelate, the main ingredient in Bone Strength Formula with KoAct, was found to be more effective at improving bone strength than supplements of calcium and collagen taken separately or in a non-chelated form, according to Tokyo University. Osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions are easier to prevent than to treat. The addition of a daily supplement can maintain bone strength throughout life, and is especially important when dietary sources are inadequate.
