Supports Bone Health
Designed to work along with MultiThera™ multivitamin to provide optimal amounts of highly bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals essential for bone health.™
OsteoThera™ provides highly bioavailable forms of minerals essential for bone health plus synergistic nutrients are included to maximize mineral absorption using the least number of capsules. Calcium and vitamin D support bone mineral density, magnesium supports bone strength and metabolism, boron promotes calcium and magnesium balance, and vitamin K activates proteins used in bone metabolism. OsteoThera™ is a good choice for adult men and women of all ages.

OsteoThera was formulated with a three-fold purpose: 1) to help teenagers and young adult women optimize bone mass; 2) to support and maintain bone mineral density in older women; and 3) to support pregnant women to meet their increased requirements for calcium during pregnancy. OsteoThera is formulated to combine with average amounts of calcium and magnesium in the diet for the maintenance of healthy bone structure and integrity.
Why is calcium citrate-malate used as the form of calcium in OsteoThera™ products?
By attaching calcium to citric and malic acids, a very soluble calcium compound is formed that is more absorbable compared to other forms of calcium such as calcium carbonate, a form commonly used in many dietary supplements. Calcium citrate-malate is also very safe and generally well-tolerated.
How do the other minerals and vitamins in OsteoThera™ support bone health?
Proper calcium utilization is crucial to optimize and maintain bone mineral density. Magnesium supports bone strength and remodeling, while boron promotes calcium and magnesium balance. Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone mineral density. Vitamin K activates proteins used in bone metabolism. The combined actions of these nutrients create a more comprehensive approach to maintaining bone health.
Why are 3 forms of vitamin K included?
Several different forms of vitamin K exist, with the primary dietary form being vitamin K1, or phylloquinone, found primarily in green vegetables. Another form of vitamin K known as vitamin K2, or menaquinone, is found in animal products such as meat or eggs, as well as in foods such as cheese and natto, a fermented soy product. While most of the benefits of vitamin K were previously attributed to vitamin K1, recent research has identified important benefits for vitamin K2. For optimal bone health, this product provides vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 as menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7).
