Improved osteoporosis! Reviews Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up Promotes bone density

I had read of certain risks in taking Fosamax for osteoporosis, so I stopped taking it over two years ago. Instead, I started taking Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up Promotes bone density. For me, it has slightly improved my osteoporosis according to a bone scan I had done in 2011.

I do not know if this Jarrow Formulas Bone-Upp roduct really works for strengthening bones in the long run, but I do know that it has great side effects of bowel consistency and settled digestive system. That would be enough for taking it, but the bone density potential is also there. I will have another bone scan in a few months, and hope to see further improvement.  

Also, in June of 2012, I fell off a step stool on my front concrete steps and injured my back and leg quite severely, but I did not break any bones! If I didn't break a bone in that fall, something must be working. I also take New Chapter's Every Woman's Once Daily Whole Food Multi Vitamins + Herbs + Minerals.

• Superior calcium formula
• Promotes bone density
• 240 dietary supplement capsules

BONE-UP provides ossein hydroxyapatite complex (OHC)(from free-range Australian/New Zealand calves), which includes the superior combination of the inorganic calcium lattice of microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA) within an organic protein milieu.

"My podiatrist advised me to use this Jarrow Formulas Bone-Up Promotes bone density product because other calcium supplements had not worked well for me. Have been using it for almost a year and it's great! My calcium levels are now in normal ranges. 

No side effects, gas, or stomach upsets with this product and I take 2 pills 3 times a day. Can be hard to find locally so getting it from Amazon.com is easy and price is better than what I can get driving 20 miles to the closest store that carries it."

Jarrow is a reputable company. I've purchased many of their excellent supplements in the past and believe that they would put out a good product based on scientific evidence. The dosage calls for 6 capsules, in divided doses, 1000 mg each of calcium and vitamin D3, 500 mg mag, plus natural Vit K, potassium citrate, a bio-active form of zinc, and trace minerals such as boron, copper and manganese to increase absorption.
