Bone Builder

Bone Builder contains microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate (MCHC) which is whole bone extract.*

MCHC offers calcium in an easily absorbable more bioavailable form than other soluble preparations. This has been demonstrated in a number of calcium balance & calcium absorption studies which indicate the superiority of MCHC over traditional calcium supplements. MCHC is twice as well absorbed as calcium gluconate which is considered to be a good form of calcium.*

MCHC:

• Is well absorbed & is a complete bone food.*
• May reduce the risk to bone loss in those people at risk.*
• Helps maintain healthy bones.*
• Contains collagen protein which makes up 35% of your bone.*
• Contains the intact organic portion of bone*
• Contains minerals other than calcium that are involved in bone formation & metabolism: phosphorus, fluoride, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, etc.*
• Help toimprove fracture healing.*
• Help back pain in those with bone loss.*
• Helps to protect against steroid induced bone loss.*

Bone cells use protein & other building blocks to produce collagen, the collagen fibers form an organic mesh that calcium, phosphorus, magnesium & numerous minerals attach to. Through a crystalization process, the various minerals attach to the organic mesh producing hydroxyapatite crystals which is what makes bone hard. Bone is one of the most active tissues in your body with a constant process of rebuilding & dissolution, requiring the steady availability of all nutrients needed for the rebuilding process.*

Dr. Slagle may tend to recommend this product when there is particular risk of bone loss or when bone loss already exists, or in those patients with a clear phosphorus deficiency. It is also excellent for other bone disorders.*
