Pro Bono, 60 pks
Why These Natural Ingredients?
Ipriflavone in Pro
Bono
A plant estrogen-like compound studied in both animal and human trials,
ipriflavone is believed to slow the rate of bone loss and may even
increase the rate of bone formation. Women with osteoporosis given
600 mg per day of ipriflavone had a six percent increase in bone mineral
density after twelve months, while the placebo group lost 0.3 percent
in bone density.
Vitamin K in
Pro Bono
Vitamin K is required for the synthesis of osteocalcin, a bone protein
integral for bone formation. Osteocalcin provides the structure and
order to bone tissue; without it, bones would be fragile and easily
broken. In humans, vitamin K levels fall during recovery from a fracture
evidencing that this nutrient is actually drawn from the rest of the
body to the site of the fracture. Vitamin K2, menaquinones, are produced
naturally by bacteria unlike its more popular cousin vitamin K1 which
is found in greater concentrations in green leafy vegetables.
Vitamin D in
Pro Bono
Vitamin D is known to be responsible for day-to-day maintenance of calcium
and mineral homeostasis. Further, vitamin D is proven to support
healthy bone density, an important component of strong bones. Many
researchers point to an unrecognized epidemic of vitamin D deficiency
among older Americans, suggesting that of those 200,000+ persons who
suffer hip fractures each year, many are vitamin D deficient.
