Daily Bone Xcel™ is our premier bone-building formula, offering highly absorbable calcium, magnesium, and essential cofactor nutrients for robust bones.*
The Quality Difference
The quality of calcium is crucial, as well as the many cofactor nutrients that support healthy bone metabolism.* We avoid compressing minerals into tablets, ensuring better absorption. Additionally, we steer clear of inexpensive minerals like calcium carbonate and oyster shell, which are difficult for the body to utilize. Instead, we specialize in exceptionally absorbable forms of minerals, particularly calcium.*
Coral minerals provide a unique blend of high-quality minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium, all in a highly absorbable crystalline structure created by sea organisms. These minerals are both fat and water soluble, with an impressive absorption rate of 70 percent, almost double that of many other calcium forms.*
Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite Complex (MCHC) is another superior form of calcium, mimicking the bone's natural composition of collagen fibers, calcium, and other minerals. This 'pre-made' bone food is directly transported to the bone, offering significant bone-building advantages.*
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 improves calcium absorption and supports bone health.* It also assists the parathyroid hormone in enhancing the bones’ utilization of calcium.* Experts recommend 3,000 to 5,000 IU of vitamin D daily for adults. Each dose of Daily Bone Xcel™ provides 1,000 IU of vitamin D, which can be augmented with our Daily Super Packs™ or Bone & Joint Helper™ for additional benefits.*
Magnesium and Bones
Magnesium is crucial for activating the bone enzyme alkaline phosphatase, necessary for forming new calcium bone crystals.* It also converts dietary vitamin D into its active form, D3, and enhances the function of parathyroid hormone in new bone formation.* A diet rich in magnesium supports good bone health.*
Vitamin K
Vitamin K works with vitamin D to enable calcium to form the hydroxyapatite bone crystals, the fundamental building blocks of bones.* Without vitamin K, calcium cannot bind to the collagen matrix of bone.* Daily Bone Xcel™ includes both K1 and a stable form of K2 (K2VITAL® DELTA), ensuring effective bone support. It is recommended to combine it with Bone & Joint Helper™ for optimal results. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications like Coumadin should opt for our non-vitamin K formulations, such as Coral Calcium.*
Trace Minerals
Trace minerals like boron, strontium, silica, and manganese play pivotal roles in bone and joint health, bone formation, and mineralization.* Though needed in smaller amounts than calcium or magnesium, these minerals are vital for optimal bone health.*
