Calcium supplements are not the answer to bone mass loss

The most common action in trying to resolve brittle bones or concerns with bone mass density, is to take calcium supplements, but sadly this is not the answer. Long-term use of high-dose calcium supplements can in fact have the complete opposite effect. We need calcium is its food (foodstate) form, not as an inorganic calcium salt bound to an acid.

Focusing simply on calcium is a mistake because bones are made up of several nutrients, not just calcium. In fact, the following nutrients are all required: Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Phosphorous, Zinc, Copper, Silicon and Sulphur, along with protein and collagen to build up the bone matrix. Taking chemical-form calcium supplements actually upsets the balance to our detriment.

So how do Food State nutrients help this situation? Primarily, all our nutrients have their own inherent delivery systems, so that they won’t rob the body of its own resources to satisfy their own needs. Secondly our formulae are carefully designed to include a variety of nutrients needed for particular functions within the body, rather than focusing on just one element.

To support healthy joints and bones, we recommend the following:
