Less than 10% of women in the United States have adequate calcium intakes (J Am Coll Nutr 1999; 18:406S-412S).

Calcium supplements help protect the achievement and maintenance of bone mass at all life stages: childhood (J Clin Invest 1997;99:1287–94), adulthood (J Nutr 1995;125:2802–13), and old age (Am J Ther 1999;6:303–11).

The United States Food and Drug Administration has approved the following statement: “Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium helps teen and young adult white and Asian women maintain good bone health and may reduce their high risk of osteoporosis later in life. Adequate calcium intake is important, but daily intakes above about 2,000 mg are not likely to provide any additional benefit.”

The beneficial effects of exercise for helping to maintain bone density is achieved only when total calcium intake exceeds 1000 mg/day (J Bone Miner Res 1996;11:1539-1544).

Optimal results from medical treatments for supporting adequate bone density requires a total calcium intake of 1200 mg/day (J Am Coll Nutr 2000;19:83S-99S).

Calcium supplements help bones maintain their integrity during minor traumas (Clin Ther 1999;21:1058–72; J Bone Miner Res 1996; 11:1961–6).

Vitamin D and Bone Health
There is widespread emerging concern about the frequency of low vitamin D status in the North American population (Am Fam Physician 2005;71:241-2).

Vitamin D is the precursor of 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol, an extremely potent hormone that promotes the intestinal absorption of calcium.

Vitamin D supplementation can augment the favorable effect of calcium supplementation on bone health in postmenopausal women (Am J Clin Nut 1995;61:1140-45).

Optimal results from medical treatments for supporting adequate bone density requires a total vitamin D intake of 600 IU/day (J Am Coll Nutr 2000;19:83S-99S).

Recent research has identified a role for vitamin D in supporting optimal neuromuscular function to stabilize balance and gait in elderly persons; total vitamin D intake must be above 400 IU for maximum effectiveness (Arch Intern Med 2006; 166:424-30; J Am Geriatr Soc 2005;53:1881-8; Cerebrovasc Dis 2005;20:187-92; JAMA 2004; 291:1999-2006).

A recent meta-analysis of twelve trials concluded that vitamin D supplements totaling at least 700 IU/day help bones maintain their integrity during minor traumas (JAMA 2005;293:2257-64).

Natural vitamin D3 is more bioavailable than synthetic vitamin D2 (Am J Clin Nutr 1998;68:854-8; Bone Miner 1986;1:407-413).

Magnesium and Bone Health
Low magnesium intake is common among women and the elderly (Magnes Res 1992;5:61-7; J Am Coll Nutr 1999;18:406S-412S).

Poor gastrointestinal absorption of magnesium and low magnesium body levels are frequently correlated with difficulty in maintaining optimum bone mass in women (Magnesium 1989;8:106–9; Magnesium 1983; 2:139–43; Isr J Med Sci 1981; 17:1123–5).

Magnesium supplements stabilize bone turnover (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1998;83:2742–8) and helped support optimal bone density in a controlled clinical trial (Magnesium Res 1993;6:155–63).

Other Bone-related Factors
Vitamin C is essential for the formation and maintenance of the connective tissue matrix of bone. Vitamin C supplements were associated with optimal bone density in a recent population study of postmenopausal women (J Bone Miner Res 2001;16:135-40).

Vitamin K is becoming newly appreciated for its role in supporting production of vital bone matrix proteins. Vitamin K requirements increase with age and low vitamin K status is associated with impaired bone health (Am J Clin Nutr 2006;83:380-386; Am J Clin Nutr 1999;69:74–9), and supplemental K supports normal bone metabolism (Arch Intern Med 2006;166:1256-61; Calcif Tissue Int 2003;73:21-26; Int J Sports Med 1998;19:479–84).

Manganese is low in refined and processed foods (J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo) 1990;36:S25–33) and appears to be important for maintaining optimum bone density (J Nutr 1994;124:1060–4).

Boron can increase the levels of hormones that retain calcium in bones, and can reduce urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium (FASEB J 1987;1:394-7).

Aspartate Salts and Magnesium
Aspartic acid appears to enhance the activity of cellular bioener getic mechanisms, thus increasing the energy available to active tissues such as the heart and musculoskeletal system.

Double-blind human studies have found aspartate salts helpful for supporting normal energy production (Am J Med Sci 1962;243:758–69; J Abdom Surg 1962;4:73; Clin Med 1964; Jan:85–90; Curr Ther Res 1962; Mar:98–106).

Magnesium is essential for the production of adequate ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and supplementation may be necessary to optimize this production in some patients (Magnes Res 1997; 10:329–37; Lancet 1992;340:426).

Zinc
Zinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of important enzymes, including those involved in growth, repro duction, tissue repair, immune function, antioxidant protection, digestion, and vision, among others (Environ Health Perspect 1994;102:5-46).

Clinical studies have shown zinc supplements to be helpful for diverse conditions, such as maintaining clear, healthy skin (Acta Dermatovener [Stockholm] 1980;Suppl 89:87-93), supporting optimum function of male sperm (Annu Rev Nutr 1985;5:43-68), and ensuring optimum tissue repair after trauma (Lancet 1996;347:706-7).

Zinc supplements help protect the macula to ensure long-term maintenance of vision (Arch Ophthalmol 2001;119:1417-36).

Zinc supplementation may help children achieve optimal growth (Am J Clin Nutr 2002;75:1062-71).

Zinc picolinate provides a highly absorbable form of zinc, allowing reduced doses while maintaining effectiveness (Nutr Rev 1980;38:148-9)
