A D VE R TIS E M E N T Advertisement Why Calcium Alone Does Not Build Bone


Today, women take more calcium than ever before. But is it enough? Discover what you should be doing - starting now.


Collagen plus Calcium: The Ideal Bone Condition†


Your bones are approximately 60% calcium and 30% collagen. Yet it is the collagen portion of your bones that directly controls bone mineral density and gives your bones the flexibility to withstand stress.†


Collagen, Your Bones’ “Calcium Binding Sites”†


What happens to all the calcium you take? Does it automatically become bone? In a word, no. You see, calcium must “bind to” bone collagen.


“Bone ... is made mostly of collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone both flexible and strong, which in turn helps bone to withstand stress”


NAIMS Division of the National Institutes of Health


That’s why insufficient collagen directly leads to diminished bone mineral density. And it’s easy to see why simply ingesting more and more calcium does little or nothing.


Collagen Gives Your Bones Vital Flexibility†


Collagen-deficient bone is brittle. Brittle bone is vulnerable to fracture. But with optimal collagen content, your bones have the ability to withstand physical stress, as from sudden impact.†


How You Can Increase Bone Collagen Formation


Unlike calcium that you ingest and receive the benefits, you cannot eat collagen and expect to add bone collagen. The key is activating the cells in your body that naturally generate bone collagen, called osteoblasts. Today, there’s only one compound that’s been clinically proven to increase bone collagen formation. It’s named ch-OSA®


, or


choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid.† How do you find it?


Increase Collagen plus Calcium with New Healthy Bones Plus™†


A new product called Healthy Bones Plus™


, with ch-OSA® , has


been clinically proven to increase bone collagen formation by 22.20% and increase bone mineral density by 200% over the mark of clinical relevance.†
