Bone Health Supplement FAQ

Q: What are bone health supplements, and what can they do for you?

With age, bone density often decreases and bones become more brittle. Luckily, bone health supplements can help to preserve bone strength and integrity. Bone health supplements contain nutrients of which an insufficiency has been linked to bone density loss. In other words, bone health supplements provide vital nutrients for bone remodeling and preserving BMD (bone mineral density). For example, bone health supplements should contain ingredients such as Calcium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K. They may also contain various other beneficial ingredients.

Q: Do all bone health supplements work?

Unfortunately, no. Not all bone health supplements work and they are not all equally effective. Many companies just ride the health trends and manufacture inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheap fillers and binders that can block the desired effects of natural ingredients and render the product useless.

Q: What should I look for?

• It should provide 1000 mg of bioavailable forms of Calcium to prevent a deficiency that could lead to bone loss.
• It should contain Vitamins D and K for optimizing Calcium absorption and directing it to the bones.
• It should also contain minerals such as Zinc, Copper, Magnesium, and Boron that play a role in bone homeostasis.
• It should contain Cissus Quadrangularis to promote bone healing and prevent the progression of osteoporosis.
• It should contain Soy Isoflavones to mimic the role of estrogen in bone remodeling and reduce the loss of bone mass density.
• It should contain Piperine (preferably as BioPerine^®) for increased absorption.
• It must be 100% pure with no unnecessary ingredients that might water down the product.

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

Calcium supplementation may cause mild side effects such as gas, bloating, and constipation. We recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition or take medications on a regular basis. It is especially important that pregnant or nursing women consult a doctor regarding adding any supplements to their diet. Furthermore, if at any point you feel that you are experiencing side effects from a supplement, you should follow up with your doctor.

Q: How do I take bone health supplements?

Each supplement is different, therefore, follow the directions on the label or provided by your doctor. As with any type of supplement, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Results are a bit different for each person. Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame. For example, Research Verified Bone Health Support offers a 365-day money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the results you experience.

Q: How much do bone health supplements cost?

The cost of supplements for bone health varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap-quality products trying to cash in on health trends. Most of the really good supplements we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with plenty of fillers and binders.
