A problem overlooked by most doctors is that loss of bone density is associated with deficiencies of not just calcium, but a host of other nutrients including magnesium and vitamin. In order for calcium to prevent bone loss, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc, manganese and other nutrients should be available so that calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. Another issue that many people are not aware of is that many forms of calcium do not absorb particularly well.

In order to overcome the impediments that preclude ageing women from achieving optimal calcium status, a mineral formula has been designed that provides 1200 elemental milligrams from three different forms of calcium per daily dose, along with critically important nutrients needed to promote healthy bones. Bone Restore™ provides calcium along with nutrients such as boron and silicon to further boost the body's ability to maintain healthy bone density.

Boron has been identified as one of the most important nutrients to help maintain bone health. As such, Life Extension has incorporated a powerful form of boron, called FruiteX B® OsteoBoron™, which is more bioavailable than boron citrate, the nutrient used in most commercial bone building supplements.

FruiteX B® OsteoBoron™, is a natural boron/fructose/carbohydrate complex, similar to what is found in fruits and vegetables. Its unique boron-carbohydrate structure that easily binds to fructose may be one of the reasons for its health benefits.

Boron in general is a crucial mineral in bone/joint health. Numerous studies have shown boron to contribute to the structural integrity of bone.
