Ingredients explained
Calcium (from microcrystalline hydroxyapatite)
Calcium provides the primary mineral for bone mineralisation and participates in muscle contraction and nerve signalling.
Caution: High calcium intake may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food and separate from certain minerals like iron to avoid absorption interference.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 supports intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus and helps regulate bone mineral balance.
Caution: Avoid excessive vitamin D from multiple supplements as very high intakes may raise blood calcium; those using high-dose vitamin D should monitor total intake.
Magnesium (from magnesium oxide and ascorbate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in vitamin D activation and supports normal bone matrix formation.
Caution: Magnesium, especially oxide, may loosen stools; taking with meals can improve tolerance.
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7)
Vitamin K2 activates proteins such as osteocalcin that help direct calcium into bones and away from soft tissues.
Caution: People using vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants should consult a healthcare professional because vitamin K may affect medicine action.
Boron (from boron chelate complex)
Boron influences mineral metabolism and may help maintain healthy utilisation of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested use, as excessive boron intake may cause digestive upset.
How they work together
Calcium supplies the structural mineral for bones, while vitamin D3 increases calcium and phosphorus absorption for better availability. Magnesium supports vitamin D activity and bone matrix enzymes, and vitamin K2 directs calcium deposition into bone. Boron helps regulate the utilisation of these minerals and vitamins.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Consult a physician if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with shellfish allergies should avoid this product as it contains shrimp and crab. Those taking anticoagulants such as warfarin should be cautious due to vitamin K2 content and discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
