BoneUp

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis three years ago, DEXA scan put me just over the red line. Dr. wanted to put me on meds but the tech who did my scan mentioned Bone Up. Decided I wanted to go that route. Took the recommended dose faithfully and also added weight training and jumping into my weekly routine. No dietary changes as I’ve always been a healthy eater. Just had a follow up DEXA and made significant improvement, now in osteopenia. Very happy with Bone Up and will continue it.

I really like this bone up. It seems to have a high-quality to it, and it is a good value for the money.. I believe it helps me sleep at night and I think I may even be getting stronger longer fingernails from this. I have had zero side effects from it and it’s very easy to take zero taste..

My mom has been taking BoneUp and really like that it combines calcium with vitamins D3 and K2. Easy to add to my daily routine, and I feel good knowing I’m supporting my bone health. Great product!

I have just been taking this supplement for 4 days. My fingernails are already much stronger. Ridges gone and a split in 1 nail that I’ve had for years has healed. It seems to be giving me energy without making me nervous. The best thing is that my joint pain is practically gone. My right shoulder is worn out and I’ve had a partial hip replacement along with knees that would go out. I know 1 reason that I’m getting so much done is: no pain. I’m 75 but very active and in good shape. Go up and down stairs 15 to 20 times a day. Please don’t paint all of us as “doddering”! I do have osteoporosis but have had bad reactions to prescription meds. And, yes, I’m one of those who treats myself when at all possible. I’m giving this 4 stars as I don’t know what it will do for my bones. Jarrow has been a reliable brand for me so I’m hopeful. Love being able to have everything in 1 pill....well, 6. I am taking the 6 a day with no problems. I’ve not been able to take other calcium without stomach upset. As far as the magnesium is concerned, I have used magnesium oil with some success on joints. I do eat healthy. No sugar, gluten or artificial anything. Cook from scratch. Here’s hoping my bones will benefit as well as my fingernails! If this continues, I will be repurchasing. Update: August 1: I really had high hopes for this supplement. It did do wonders for my nails. After about a week or so, I realized that it was keeping me awake. Cut the dosage to 4, then 3. Got down to 2 a day and it was still affecting my sleep. Took none yesterday and slept great. Wish I could take them. That was the only side effect I had. Can’t take so many things. Wish I knew which ingredient caused it.

Since using this product, my knees no longer hurt when I wake up in the morning.

This is a great calcium combo!! Family member including myself have been taking this for many years. If you have injured yourself in anyway this is really great way to help with recovery.

I have mild osteoporosis, and my doctor has prescribed that I take at least 1200 mg of calcium per day. She also wants to see me taking at least 800 IU of vitamin D along with it. However, I have been aware for some time that other minerals are instrumental in maintaining bone health. Magnesium is an important mineral that most people are deficient in, and without magnesium, calcium is not properly absorbed. Vitamin K is also needed in small quantities for bone health, along with zinc and boron. Phosphorus is a very important mineral associated with bone mineralization, but it is so abundant in the foods we eat that it is not necessary to supplement it. A quick study of essential minerals for bone health on the Internet has confirmed these findings to me. Common knowledge would have it that calcium citrate as well as other formations of calcium are superior to calcium carbonate, but studies published on the Internet tell me that this is not necessarily true. For most people, all forms of calcium are metabolized OK. From reading other peoples’ commentaries, it seems that people take calcium for many different reasons, and have different reactions to the calcium they take. In general, the body will not absorb more than 500 mg of calcium in one dose. So, when taking doses of calcium, it is well to split it into several doses per day, taken with food. Most adults only require 1000 mg of calcium per day, but aging women need at least 1200 mg of calcium per day. Magnesium is dosed at about one half the number of milligrams of calcium that you take. So if you take 500 mg of calcium, it should be accompanied by vitamin D as well as 250 mg of magnesium. Vitamin K and the other micronutrients are well to have combined with your calcium supplement if you are taking it for bone health. While I am on the subject of osteoporosis, although it is prevalent in women, men also get it. If you are a man, I would suggest that you have yourself tested for bone density from time to time, especially if you suffer from spinal pain. I have one male friend who developed osteoporosis at a young age: 35 years old. My father suffered greatly from bone disintegration in his spine during his old-age, and when it was too late to do anything about it, it was found that he had osteoporosis. With this in mind, I picked out four different cocktails of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D from what Amazon had to offer, and in this review I will discuss the pros and cons of each one. Nature Made brand has a supplement called Calcium Magnesium Zinc with Vitamin D in a jar containing 300 tablets. This bottle costed $16.95. I would require 4 tablets per day to get sufficient calcium for my osteoporosis, making the cost per day of this supplement to be $.23. The serving size for calcium is 333 mg per tablet, which is within the recommended dose for adequate absorption. The ratio of calcium to magnesium is less than 2:1, so there is less magnesium per tablet then I would like to see. Each tablet also contains 200 IU of vitamin D3, so if I took four of these I would receive 800 IU of vitamin D, which is just what the doctor ordered. As far as composition goes, the calcium is in carbonate form, the magnesium is in oxide form, and in addition there is 5 mg of zinc sulfate. Magnesium and calcium are both VERY bulky minerals. That is why there is not a sufficient amount of these minerals in your daily vitamin. You have a choice: in order to get enough of these minerals you need to either take several very large tablets daily, or lots of little ones. Nature Made opted for offering their supplement in very large tablets, which would result in doses that are hard to swallow. I would rate this supplement as being sort of average. It does not offer extra micronutrients, and the calcium and magnesium are in their cheapest forms. It would certainly be adequate as a daily supplement, but you would have to choke down the large pills, and live without the extra bells and whistles that some of the other brands might provide. Country Life brand has a supplement called Calcium Magnesium Complex in a 90 tablet bottle. This costs $7. To achieve my target of 1200 mg of calcium per day I would need to take three tablets, making the cost per day out to be $.23 per day. Country Life also chose to compound their supplement into a small number of large tablets per day. One tablet provides 500 mg of calcium, which is within the limit that your body can absorb in one meal, and the calcium is in the form of hydroxyapatite, citrate, aspertate, and a couple of less common compounds. It also contains phosphorus, which is unnecessary, and magnesium in the form of oxide, citrate, taurinate, and a couple of other compounds. There is no vitamin D included, so an additional vitamin D supplement would need to be taken at the same time. There are no micronutrients in the supplement, which may or may not be a good thing. Micronutrients in the form of minerals can pile up in your system if you get too many, and cause an unusual poisoning. So, you need to calculate carefully how many micronutrients you get not only from your calcium supplement but also from your daily vitamin. You really do not want to exceed 100% of your daily value. Since this supplement lacks vitamin D, I am not sure if it is a good one to take. If you decided to take it, you should shop carefully for vitamin D in a very small dosage so that you could take one of them every time you took one of the mineral supplements. By the way, there is some evidence that vitamin D is good for you at even higher dosages than 800 mg per day. I am not sure where the top is, so I would not recommend taking multiple supplements of vitamin D at a very high level, but perhaps 1600 IU of vitamin D per day would be beneficial, but I wouldn't take any more than that. Schiff brand supplements offer Super Calcium Magnesium with 800 IU vitamin D in 90 softgels. This bottle costs $5.99. It requires three softgels to achieve 1200 mg of calcium per day, making the cost per day out to be $.20 per day. This brand also has opted for several large doses rather than many small doses. However, it comes in the form of softgels, that may be easier to swallow. The calcium and magnesium ratio is 3:1, and I would prefer to see more magnesium so that the ratio would be 2:1. The three softgels provide 800 IU of vitamin D, which is just what the doctor ordered. Also included is 3 mg of boron. The calcium is in the form of calcium carbonate, the magnesium is in the form of magnesium oxide, and the boron is a glysinate. There is no vitamin K or Zink, so I would rate this supplement as being adequate but not fantastic. Jarrow Formulas offers a supplement called Bone-Up, that has a number of vitamins and minerals in it. 240 capsules costs $16.95. To reach my target of 1200 mg of calcium per day I would have to take seven capsules, making the cost per day to be $.50. This is the most expensive of the supplements I have examined by far. On the other hand, the supplements break the dosages down to smaller sizes so that the individual capsules that you take would be easier to swallow. Because of the large number of capsules that you would need to take per day, it would be well to apportion them out between breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This is also the most aggressive supplement that I have looked at, since it holds doses of vitamin C, vitamin K, zinc, copper, manganese, potassium, and boron in addition to the calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D that I am looking for. The calcium is in the form of microcrystalline hydroxyapatite, the magnesium is in the form of an oxide, and the trace minerals account for 67% to 3% of your daily value, so you might want to have a look at your daily vitamin constituents to make sure that you are not overdosing on trace minerals. One thing of note is that the vitamin D is in a larger dose than in the other vitamins, coming in at 1000 IU per day. The ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1, which is ideal from my point of view. Taking all these points into consideration, which supplement would I be happiest with? Although it is the most expensive, the Jarrow formula seems to have the most to offer, at $.50 per day. Next up would be the Country Life, combined with a low dose formula of vitamin D. This formula would cost me $.23 per day, though I would have to factor in the cost of the vitamin D supplements. After that, the most sensible choice would be Nature Made because it lists zinc in addition to the calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. It does not have as much magnesium as I would like to see. The cost per day of this supplement would run me $.23 per day. The runner-up, Schiff, is still a decent supplement, though in my mind it does not have enough magnesium, and it offers boron instead of zinc as a trace mineral. The cost for this would be $.20 per day. I will keep and take all of these supplements now that I have acquired them, because there is really nothing wrong with any of them. I think when I go to replenish my supply eventually, I would probably choose the Country Life supplement because it costs half the price of the Jarrow formula. The pills are large, but I have no trouble swallowing large pills. But if you do, I would recommend the Jarrow formula. I screened a number of mineral combos in the process of choosing these four, and I picked these particular four to try out because they seemed to be the best of the lot. I hope you find this dissertation helpful when choosing yourself a mineral supplement.

I have gone through 4 bottles of this, this being my 5th now. Without it, my joints/bones crack constantly all day and I experience pain in them constantly. I have tried to find supplements that are effective naturally for many, many years before finally stumbling across Bone Up. I’ve been taking supplements for 15+ years and I know the process you have to go through to find out if something you are taking is actually benefiting your health can be grueling. This is one of the rare ones, after hundreds of failures, that have actually worked. But, you need to understand that everyone is different and what works for someone might not work for someone else. It’s all trial and error. It gets expensive but health wise for me, it’s been worth it. If you are skeptical, all you can do is try. Keep in mind that supplements also don’t work right away for some. It can take months, so you have to be patient no matter how frustrating it can be. I have trusted Jarrow for a long time and I haven’t been disappointed with anything that I’ve purchased from them in the 6 plus years since I discovered them for myself. Also, before finding Bone Up, my nails wouldn’t grow at all for a number of years. I had no idea why because they used to. I didn’t intend to get Bone Up for that reason but my nails grow like crazy now and are hard and strong as well. All the ingredients in this work together with each other to help each other work most efficiently in the body. I have tried just straight, cheap calcium supplements before and did not have any nail growth. This combo and the quality of the ingredients are top tier.

Exceleste calidad y envío.
