Emerging research continues to investigate the roles of \u003cb\u003eboron and silicon\u003c\/b\u003e in bone metabolism. That’s why Mineral Mix isn’t built around a megadose of calcium, it’s built around the \u003cb\u003emineral team\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Balanced 1:1 Calcium-to-Magnesium Formula\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEach daily serving provides: (2 capsules)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e200 mg Calcium + 200 mg Magnesium\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWe deliberately chose a balanced approach rather than making calcium dominate the formula. Calcium is essential for normal bones and teeth, while magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions and contributes to normal muscle and bone function. Diet matters here too. Some people already obtain substantial calcium from dairy foods, fortified beverages and other foods but may consume less magnesium-rich foods such as nuts, seeds, legumes and leafy greens. Mineral Mix is designed to \u003cb\u003efill nutritional gaps with a broader range of minerals rather than simply adding a large amount of calcium.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin K2 MK-7- \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis is one of the formula’s most important differences from an ordinary calcium-magnesium supplement. Mineral Mix provides \u003cb\u003eVitamin K2 as MK-7\u003c\/b\u003e. Vitamin K is required to activate \u003cb\u003eosteocalcin\u003c\/b\u003e, a protein produced by bone-forming cells that participates in normal bone mineralization. MK-7 also has a relatively long half-life compared with some other forms of vitamin K, making it particularly well suited to daily supplementation. Human research on vitamin K2 and bone health is encouraging. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials have reported improvements in certain measures of bone mineral density and vitamin K-dependent osteocalcin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoron — \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Small Mineral With Interesting Science- \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBoron is present in tiny amounts compared with calcium and magnesium. But small doesn’t necessarily mean unimportant. Boron has attracted scientific interest because of its possible involvement in \u003cb\u003ecalcium, magnesium and vitamin D metabolism and bone maintenance\u003c\/b\u003e. Human research is still limited, so there isn’t an established recommended daily intake for boron. But reviews of the evidence suggest that boron is biologically active at nutritional amounts and may play a supporting role in bone health. Mineral Mix provides \u003cb\u003e2 mg of boron per daily serving\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eIt’s another example of the philosophy behind the formula:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBone nutrition is about more than one mineral. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilica — \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eLooking Beyond the Mineral Part of Bone \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBone isn’t simply a block of calcium. Underneath its mineral content is an organic framework composed largely of \u003cb\u003ecollagen\u003c\/b\u003e.
