Patient One bone, joint and muscle support supplements supply evidence-backed nutrients in their most bioavailable forms, precisely calibrated with cofactors for maximum absorption. Our formulas include some of today’s breakthrough branded ingredients that promote soothing joint comfort, cartilage rejuvenation, healthy neuromuscular contraction, and peak bone mineralization.
Patient One OsteoOne™ with Ca, D3, K2 Complex supplies comprehensive support for bone health and maintenance. Bone health is dependent on a constant supply of micronutrients and OsteoOne is designed to mimic the composition of healthy bone matrix. By mirroring naturally occurring bone components in carefully calibrated ratios, OsteoOne optimizes the restoration of peak bone mineral density. OsteoOne is formulated with today’s most advanced patented bone health ingredients, which share enhancements for promoting absorption and bioavailability, while supporting digestive comfort for better patient compliance.
Key Ingredients
Calcium and Magnesium:
Over 75% of men and 22% of women fail to get enough calcium. OsteoOne supplies calcium with magnesium, providing essential elements for bone maintenance. OsteoOne’s calcium is presented as DimaCal® dicalcium malate, a vegan form that is bonded to malic acid to maximize bioavailability. Calcium malate and calcium citrate/malate are both highly bioavailable forms of calcium. In a two-year, double blind, placebo-controlled trial, calcium citrate/malate provided bone mass support for postmenopausal women with low dietary calcium intake. Magnesium supports healthy bone mineralization, and OsteoOne supplies magnesium to further optimize absorption and utilization of DimaCal calcium.
Vitamin D3:
Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supports bone health by working with magnesium to aid in the metabolism of calcium, which benefits bone mineral density. Research indicates that those with low vitamin D levels have lower bone mass. Vitamin D also reduces urinary calcium loss. The body’s production of vitamin D declines during aging, making supplementation important for seniors. Cholecalciferol is the form of vitamin D that is naturally occurring, synthesized in skin during exposure to sunlight. However, many factors can limit this production including lack of sun exposure, smog, sunblock, skin melanin content and geographic location.
Vitamin K2 (as VitaMK7™ menaquinone-7):
An ultra-pure form of vitamin K2, VitaMK7 exhibits the highest bioavailability and longest half-life in the blood. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) plays an active role in bone metabolism, calcium utilization and is associated with the reinforcement of bone mineral density. Proteins such as osteocalcin and matrix GLA protein (MPG) that are linked to healthy bone formation are activated by vitamin K2. OsteoOne includes Vitamin K2 for bone mass maintenance. K2 deficiency has been specifically linked to low bone mass in mature women.
Mineral Complex:
OsteoOne is completed with bone-promoting minerals including zinc and manganese as TRAACS® glycinate chelates and FruiteX-B™ PhytoBoron, as well as natural silica derived from bamboo stems. Zinc and manganese encourage healthy bone density, while boron maintains the wellness of bones and joints. Boron plays an important role in reducing urinary calcium and magnesium excretion. Silica promotes collagen synthesis, aiding in the strength and pliability of bones along with other crucial connective tissue.
Research
In a meta-analysis of 12 clinical trials totaling over 42,000 adults age 65 and up, researchers found that vitamin D supplementation (at a daily level of 400 international units and above) reduced hip fractures by 18% and reduced non-vertebral fractures by 20%.
A population-based, cross-sectional study with more than 2,800 participants found that the intake of dietary silica was notably linked to increased bone mineral density in men and premenopausal women.
A three-year study utilizing 180 ?g/d of MK-7 concluded that MK-7 significantly improved vitamin K status, supported bone mineral content and BMD, and favorably supported bone strength and integrity in healthy postmenopausal women.
