Helps in the development and maintenance of bones
Vegan forms of calcium and vitamin D
Provides active and effective forms of key nutrients for bone health
Improves bone growth and density while reducing bone loss
Unparalleled comprehensive bone health formula, exclusively offered by AOR
Ortho Bone® Vegan is a leading bone health formula providing essential nutrients for maintaining bone strength, especially for people with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or those with prior bone fractures. Vegan Ortho Bone® differs from AOR's classic Ortho Bone® in that it is suitable for vegans, providing the most effective, non-animal sources of calcium, vitamin D, and other bone-building nutrients.
Vegan Ortho Bone® provides all the vitamins and minerals known to support bone health by helping to reduce calcium loss and maintain bone mineral density. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in bones, and calcium citrate malate is the most absorbable vegan form of calcium. The special structure of calcium citrate malate makes it six to nine times easier to dissolve in the stomach than regular calcium citrate and is absorbed 36% better; and calcium citrate is absorbed approximately 22% better than calcium carbonate. These statistics illustrate the superiority of calcium citrate malate over the citrate and carbonate forms.
While calcium is important, it is only part of the picture, and many other nutrients are needed to maintain strong, healthy bones. Ortho Bone® Vegan also provides vitamins D and K for proper calcium absorption and utilization, vitamin C and silicon to support collagen production, magnesium, which makes up a large part of the bone mineral matrix, boron to reduce magnesium loss, and trace minerals such as zinc, copper, and manganese, which are cofactors for enzymes involved in bone growth and repair. Finally, vitamins B12 and folate are included to help reduce homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct that is toxic to bone fibers.
Ortho Bone® Vegan is an ideal formula for vegetarians, vegans, postmenopausal women, and those with osteopenia or a family history of osteoporosis.
Ortho Bone® Vegan is an advanced combination of essential ingredients for maintaining skeletal health. This formula contains all the key nutrients for bone health in their most effective form and at clinically supported doses.
