Osteo-fx PLUSTM is formulated to support healthy bones and joints.A typical human frame is comprised of 206 bones. Bones are living tissues that provide structural support for muscles, protect vital organs, and store the calcium essential for bone density and strength. To keep bones strong, the body is continually breaking down old bone and replacing it with new bone tissue. Until the age of about 30, you build and store bone efficiently. Then, as part of the natural aging process, bones begin to break down faster than new bone can be formed.The body needs calcium to support functions including development and reparation of bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle contraction, blood clotting, and support of proper function of the heart. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests that individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle, adequate calcium consumption, and weight-bearing exercise in order to support the strengthening of the body's bones. In order for calcium to be absorbed efficiently by your body, it need other mineral co-factors.Youngevity's Osteo FX PlusTM was formulated to support healthy bones and joints.
