Description

Believe it or not, your bones are alive. They are constantly remodelling, like you do with your house when rooms start looking worn or dated. You take the old kitchen or bathroom fixtures out and put all new ones in. Your bones do the same. They actively dissolve and then replace minerals to keep your skeleton strong and stable.

Normally your body has no problem keeping up with this continuous give and take, but when you have osteoporosis, you lose bone faster than you can replace it. Bones become more porous and brittle and can shatter simply from a fall, bumping into furniture, or even picking up a heavy grocery bag.

So you think, no problem, I’ll just find a good quality calcium supplement and that should cover me. But it’s a common misconception that calcium alone goes straight to the bones to make them stronger. You also need the support of minerals like magnesium, boron and zinc, and vitamins like K1 and D3 to make sure bone-building calcium goes where it needs to.

These are all conveniently found in CanPrev’s Osteo Prolong™ .
