Oscap Plus™ 180 Vegetarian Capsules

Calcium has long been associated with bone growth and general bone health. But other vitamins and minerals are needed in addition to calcium to promote healthy bones. Thorne Research has incorporated these other minerals into a simple and easy- to-take capsule called Oscap Plus™.

Since magnesium deficiency can impair bone growth, it’s important to include it in your bone strengthening efforts. Magnesium, along with playing important roles in other body systems, helps transport calcium to the bones.

In addition to the assurance of the vegetarian formulation of these capsules, you will benefit from these ingredients associated with healthy bones:

• Vitamin D - helps with the absorption of calcium within the intestines and is used with calcium to increase bone density. There is a link between low levels of vitamin D and osteomalacia, a condition of weakening of the bones.
• Vitamin K - is involved in an important chemical reaction with osteocalcin, which is vital in the building of bones.
• Vitamin B6 and B12 - research has found that low levels of vitamins B6 and B12 are associated with low levels of osteocalcin.
• Ipriflavone – is found naturally in alfalfa plants and is suggested to help stimulate a hormone that promotes calcium metabolism, which is vital for bone development. Ipriflavone also increases bone mineral density, fighting against aged-related osteoporosis.
• Boron – Boron supports the functions of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, which are all linked to the health and development of bones.
• Vanadium – a study suggests that a low dose of vanadium may play a role in bone formation.
• Horsetail – is a good source of silica which may be associated with healthy bones and is attributed to have antioxidant properties.
