This broad spectrum combination of minerals,
vitamins, and herbs is formulated to aid in the formation and strengthening
of the skeletal system. It provides highly bioavailable forms of calcium, a
mineral essential not only for the maintenance of the functional integrity of the
nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems, but also cell membrane and capillary
impermeability. This formula also provides substances which nutritionally
support and enhance the absorption of calcium and the incorporation of calcium
into bone. In addition, it provides nutrients essential to healthy bone structure
and formation, the synthesis and strengthening of connective tissue in cartilage
and bone, and the formation of elastin. Ipriflavone, an advanced addition to this
formula, is a synthetic derivative of naturally occurring isoflavones. It supports
healthy bone maintenance by promoting secretion of the hormone calcitonin, and
maintaining healthy osteoclast activity. Ipriflavone also supports type I collagen
and the formation of mineralized bone matrix. Vitamin K enhances bone formation
by carboxylating osteocalcin. This enables osteocalcin to bind to calcium and
promote healthy bone mineralization. Furthermore, +CAL+®
is enhanced with
1,000 i.u. of vitamin D3
for optimal bone health.*
What Is The Source?
Calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper and boron are derived from earthen
ore. Citrate/malate, glycinate and aspartate are synthetic. Horsetail extract (5:1)
is derived from Equisetum arvense. Vitamin D3
is derived from lanolin. Ipriflavone
and vitamin K1
are synthetically derived. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn
dextrose fermentation and palm oil.

Ipriflavone is used for preventing and treating weak bones (osteoporosis) in older women, preventing osteoporosis caused by certain medications, relieving pain associated with osteoporosis, and treating a bone disease called Paget's disease
