It has 4 mg silicon from Horsetail herb, Equisetum arvense, which they say acts as a switch to turn on the bone-building process; 400 mg L-Lysine, which is a component of all forms of collagen, but also blocks the enzymes that break down collagen and acts as a glue to connect collagen fibers together; 500 mg strontium citrate, which has been shown to increase bone density and reduce risk of fractures; 2 mg Boron aspartate-citrate, which has been shown to have multiple benefits on bone strength, bone healing, preservation of bone-building osteoblasts, and countering bone loss from low hormone levels in women; 300 mg Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) extract, min. 30% alpha acids; also vitamin D3, vitamin K2, zinc, copper, and manganese. Is this supplement effective as a stand-alone nutraceutical for maintaining bone health with aging?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Healing Modalities17 views0 answers0 votesSome of the ingredients in Ultimate Bone Support by Advanced Bionutritionals are at lower levels than used in clinical studies establishing their effects when used singly. Does that not matter or is there a synergy from the overall combination of ingredients?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Healing Modalities14 views0 answers0 votesYou have endorsed the use of Bone & Muscle Defense from Green Valley Natural Solutions along with Flexafen, and Omega XL if affordable, for supporting musculoskeletal health and joint restoration. Would Ultimate Bone Support add significant benefits when taking Bone & Muscle Defense and Flexafen?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Healing Modalities17 views0 answers0 votesWould Omega XL be worth adding to the other three supplements?ClosedNicola asked 4 days ago • Healing Modalities18 views0 answers0 votesI have been using a 125 mg ashwagandha supplement from Life Extension as the major source of this nutraceutical. It costs $7.50 for 60 doses. The more recent introduction of Amazing Ashwa from Force Factor has 1400 mg Ashwagandha (800 mg Ashwagandha root powder and 600 mg KSM-66 Ashwagandha root extract) plus extracts with 200 mg Ginseng, 150 mg Goji berry, 100 mg Bacopa monnieri, 100 mg Green Tea, 100 mg Black Maca, 100 mg Rhodiola rosea, and including 100 mg L-Theanine, 40 mcg (1600 IU) Vitamin D, 10 mg Niacin, 2 mg Vitamin B6, 25 mcg Vitamin B12, 192 mg Calcium and 149 mg Phosphorus as Dicalcium Phosphate, 15 mg Zinc Oxide, 50 mcg Selenium (L-Slelenomethionine) and 5 mg BioPerine Black pepper fruit extract. The supplement costs $15.00 for 30 doses of four tablets. Is the Amazing Ashwa supplement significantly more beneficial than taking just 125 mg ashwagandha from Life Extension?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Healing Modalities77 views0 answers0 votesGiven the much higher levels of Ashwagandha in the Amazing Ashwa supplement, could there be sufficient benefit for most users or myself from taking just two of the tablets per dose? That would double the length of coverage with each bottle, and halve the purchase price. It would also halve the dose delivered of all the other ingredients.ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Healing Modalities70 views0 answers0 votesNaturaLife Labs offers a supplement with 2100 mg Ashwagandha alone, as a blend of root powder and root extract, along with black pepper to improve bioavailability. At 3 tablets per dose, one bottle could cover three months taking just a single 700 mg tablet, for about the same cost as Amazing Ashwa. Is the 2100 mg dose of Ashwagandha in the NaturaLife Labs product overkill, or would that high a dose give a significantly greater benefit?ClosedNicola asked 3 months ago • Healing Modalities69 views0 answers0 votesGreen Valley Naturals is offering a supplement called Bone and Muscle Defense they claim both strengthens bones as well as rebuilding muscle mass.

Typical dosages of key vitamins and minerals found in supplements for men over 60 are : Vit C 60-100 mg, D 0-25 μg (400-1000 IU), B12 1.5-24 μg, B9 200-400 μg, Calcium 200-300 mg, Magnesium 100-300 mg, Zinc 10-15 mg. Are these dosages likely to be close to optimal for this group or are higher levels needed? Some research suggests for example that Vitamin D3 doses should range from 5,000 IU to 50,000 IU in extremis.”ClosedNicola asked 1 year ago • Healing Modalities286 views0 answers0 votes
