Bone Builder Chewable by Metagenics is a total bone solution for anyone with osteoporosis, osteopenia or for those who want to be proactive with their bone health.
Bone Builder Chewable contains calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, copper, manganese, phosphorous and other trace minerals to support healthy bone growth and density. The sources of calcium and phosphorus in this product come from microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHC), which is sourced directly from the bones of cows. As such, it also contains some of the other less abundant nutrients found in bone such as zinc, potassium and proteins such as transforming growth factor beta, type I collagen, osteocalcin, type I insulin growth factor I and II.
The reasoning behind using MCHC as a mineral source versus other types, such as calcium citrate, is that the bones are made up of much more than just calcium and magnesium. Providing nutrients directly from bones provides our bodies with all of the supportive nutrients it needs to build bone. Some studies have shown that MCHC does promote bone growth better than the typical calcium supplements.

One very important thing we should take care of is our bones. It’s nice to have it in chewables.
