Whole Body Collagen:
Mix 1 scoop in shakes, morning coffee or beverage. These collagen peptides contain specific forms of collagen (FORTIBONE, VERISOL, FORTIGEL) that were used in a randomized controlled study 131 women over 12 months. The daily intake of 5 g of this peptide resulted in a steady increase in bone mineral density and showed improvement in the T-score in the spine and femoral neck after 12 months. This is a grass-fed and hormone-free bovine collagen source.
MegasporeBiotic:
MegaSporeBiotic™ is a 100% spore-based, broad-spectrum probiotic shown to maintain healthy gut barrier function. This unique all-spore formula effectively RECONDITIONS the gut by promoting microbial diversity and maintaining key health-promoting, commensal gut bacteria. MegaSporeBiotic™ boasts a 5-year shelf-life, does not require refrigeration, and maintains a healthy gut microbiome.* The gut microbiome plays an important part in helping us to absorb our nutrients, modulate inflammation and make important vitamins like B and K2.
Vitamin D3 liquid- Pure Encapsulations:
If you only need some extra Vitamin D3 without K2, each drop provides 1,000 IU's. Consult with your practitioner to determine the appropriate amount for you.
Magnesium:
Magnesium affects bone health because of how it interacts with a number of other nutrients, specifically: calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. It also plays an important role in the function of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is responsible for regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. The glycinate form of magnesium is well tolerated by most people and one of the most bioavailable forms.
Osteo-K Minis:
Contains 45 mg of MK4®, also called menaquinone-4, and menatetrenone, calcium and vitamin D. MK4 is a form of natural Vitamin K2. As a nutrient, MK4 has many positive effects on the body. Research on MK4 (45 mg/day) show that it builds stronger bones and promotes healthy blood production.* Vitamin K2 is necessary to help calcium be deposited into the bone and prevents it from being deposited into arteries, tendons or other organs.
(Some individuals taking anticoagulant medications like Coumadin or with a blood-clotting disorder should not take vitamin K, as it can interfere with the medication's effectiveness.
* Please note the amount of Vitamin D in the Osteo-K- Minis is only 1,000 iu's, which may not be enough for some individuals if their current Vitamin D levels are low. Additional Vitamin D3 may be necessary. If you are not sure how much you should be taking, feel free to reach out to me for a free 15 min consultation - anne@annelemonswellness.com)
Vitamin C:
Anti-oxidant/anti-inflammatory and helps with the production of collagen, in either the supplement and liquid form. For those dealing with absorption issues, the Liposomal Vitamin C is more readily absorbed.
OmegaGenics EPA/DHA 1000:
Excellent source of Omega 3's, which help to bring down inflammation in the body, a root cause of osteoporosis.
Vitamin D + K2 liquid:
If you would prefer this instead of Osteo-K Minis, The vitamin K2 in this formula is the well-studied MK-7.
1000i.u of super bioavailable Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol) per drop
10mcg of Vitamin K2 as MK7 (menaquinone-7) per drop
Adjust according to your needs.
Some individuals taking anticoagulant medications like Coumadin or with a blood-clotting disorder should not take vitamin K, as it can interfere with the medication's effectiveness.
Curcumasorb:
Ideal for joint pain and inflammation. CurcumaSorb contains curcumin the active ingredient in turmeric. Curcumasorb provides the patented Meriva® curcumin-phosphatidylcholine complex for enhanced absorption and bioavailability. The proprietary phytosome technology combines curcumin and phosphatidylcholine at a 1:2 ratio promoting resistance to degradation in the digestive tract and efficient absorption across membranes. This produces significantly higher peak plasma concentrations and larger area under concentration-time curves (AUC). In a single-dose pharmacokinetic animal study, plasma curcumin levels were 20-fold greater with Meriva® than standard curcumin. A preliminary human pharmacokinetic study demonstrated that elevations in plasma curcumin from 450 mg Meriva® were similar to values obtained from 4, 000 mg of a standard curcumin extract. The efficacy of a low dose was demonstrated in a 3-month clinical trial, in which 200 mg curcuminoids from Meriva® per day maintained healthy C-reactive protein levels and provided significant benefit in joint comfort, mobility and quality of life.
