Plant-based Calcium
Plant-based calcium is porous, which increases the surface area, making it easy to dissolve and digest.

Plant-based Calcium Complex is Easier for Body to Absorb
Bone Strength Take Care is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a natural, effective calcium complex to support their bone health needs. This calcium complex is derived from a specific plant form called Lithothamnion, which is harvested from pristine shores along the Icelandic coastline. Similar to the vegetables from an organic garden, this sea plant is allowed to mature naturally and then harvested to deliver its optimal nutritional value.

Easy To Digest
To be absorbed, calcium must be completely dissolved. The plant-based calcium in Bone Strength Take Care is porous, which increases the calcium’s surface area. Stomach acid can then come into greater contact with the calcium, making it easy to dissolve. And since the calcium comes from a whole-food plant source, it is easy on the digestive system.

Synergistic Bone-Strengthening Nutrients
Like most nutrients, the body can utilize calcium more effectively when paired with its natural co-factors such as magnesium, natural Vitamin K2 (MK-7), Vitamin D3, and other trace minerals. Bone Strength Take Care’s calcium complex delivers these key nutrients in their safest, most active form within the infinite complexity of whole food.

Vitamin K is an essential co-factor in calcium absorption and retention.* Human cell proteins that don’t get enough vitamin K can’t hold onto calcium, causing this critical nutrient to drift away from the bone.

The “calcium paradox” holds that without adequate vitamin K, calcium will not be deposited in the bones where it is required for maintaining bone strength, but rather in the arteries and soft tissues where it can cause stiffening.

The form of vitamin K most active in the bones and arteries is natural vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 (MK-7), sourced from fermented whole food, gently redirects “lost” calcium back into the bone bank.

The complex is completed by vitamin D3, which has been found to aid in bone support and function in several studies.* New Chapter® creates whole-food complexed vitamin D3 by culturing the nutrient with probiotics and organic whole foods.

MenaQ7: The Only Clinically Supported Natural Vitamin K2
Bone Strength Take Care® contains MenaQ7™, the most bioavailable, bioactive, and longest-lasting form of vitamin K available. MenaQ7™ is a patent-pending form of vitamin K2 extracted from natto and has been clinically shown to promote bone health. A single daily dose of 45mcg of MenaQ7™ can ensure delivery of K2 to all of the body’s tissues 24 hours a day.

Easy to Swallow, Gluten-free, and Vegetarian
Each Bone Strength Take Care tablet is naturally gluten-free and contains fermented soy. The product is 100 percent vegetarian, and has no artificial flavors or colors.
