Interestingly, if you eat a meal containing more than 500 mg of calcium, your body will absorb much less of it than if you consume a lower amount. Suggested Use: To improve bone mineral density and maintain strong bones, when incorporated into a regimen with AlgaeCal Plus. Kloss et al. 2020.

With AlgaeCal you are getting the only calcium supplement clinically supported to increase bone density,” ​he told NutraIngredients-USA​. Calcium is the most important mineral for bone health, and it’s the main mineral found in your bones. Ritual’s Multivitamin 50+ contains 60mg (just under 20 percent of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for women), which may be plenty for some but not enough for others. The amount of boron (0.7mg) in this supplement may also be slightly low. Although there is no established RDA for boron, research suggests that 1 to 3 milligrams may be helpful in supporting bone health. Boron is in a variety of foods and drinks including many fruits and vegetables, so it’s possible to get enough through diet, and this supplement may just provide a slight boost. Maintaining strong bones as you age is important for quality of life through aging and to reduce risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis. “Osteoporosis can actually become life threatening when you get older, and it’s not something to take lightly. That’s why we start screening all postmenopausal women for osteoporosis with bone-density scans starting at age 65, or younger if you went through early menopause,” says Dr. Jillian Gold, MD, family practice physician.

Supports consistent, long-term bone-density gains. Study participants gained 7.3% BMD over 7 years when those in their age group would normally lose 7% over this time period. This innovative study won the prestigious 2016 Ragus Award for research.

In fact, research suggests that older women, in particular, appear to have better bone density when they consume higher amounts of protein ( 25, 26, 27).

Open Orthop J. 2012;6:143-9. doi:10.2174/1874325001206010143 While you can get adequate amounts of most nutrients for bone health from food, vitamin D is an exception. It’s estimated that at least 30% of the U.S population is vitamin D deficient, and many more are not getting enough vitamin D but not quite deficient (blood vitamin D levels < 30nmol/L). So if you’re on a budget and want to prioritize one nutrient to supplement for your bones, we recommend vitamin D. Therefore, it’s best to spread your calcium intake throughout the day by including one high-calcium food from this list at each meal.With all of this fanfare around fat, there is one important fact to keep in mind — not all fats are created equal. When we cut it down to size, the difference in “types” of fat comes down to their chemical structure. Some fats are just more “beautiful” for our cells than others. If you’re not getting enough zinc in your diet, a zinc supplement may help support your bone health, although more research is needed. If a healthcare professional recommends a zinc supplement, we suggest Thorne Zinc Picolinate. It’s NSF Certified for Sport, a rigorous third party certification that tests for purity, potency, and any banned substances by sport. Zinc is the only ingredient, which is not the case for many zinc supplements, so you’re only getting what you need. It’s also gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. Gröber U, Schmidt J, Kisters K.

What changed my mind was Fishman’s research, which I discuss in the Yoga post here: https://blog.algaecal.com/yoga-for-osteoporosis/. What he presents in his book had not yet been confirmed when I wrote the 2nd edition of Your Bones. Now it has. Here’s the abstract for the latest paper:Raloxifene (Evista) mimics estrogen's beneficial effects on bone density in postmenopausal women, without some of the risks associated with estrogen. Taking this drug can reduce the risk of some types of breast cancer. Hot flashes are a possible side effect. Raloxifene also may increase your risk of blood clots.
