Every one knows that getting enough calcium is key to building and maitaining strong healthy bones. But current research suggest that we don't need as much calcium being recommended to us by mainstream medicine. To top it off, it's not clear that dairy products are the best source of calcium for most of us.
There are plenty of calcium rich non-dairy foods at your disposal. Leafy green vegetables and broccoli for example, which contain vitamin K, a key nutrient for healthy bones.
Vitamin D is a key factor in boosting bone health. There are many factors to determine individual requirements of vitamin D such as skin pigment, where you winter, and your daily exposure to direct sunlight. The best way to know is to request a blood test for Vitamin D from your physician or health care provider.
Don't go overboard with Vitamin A from retinol. Too much retinol can weaken bones. It's a bit of a paradox, because a certain amount of retinol will provide a variety of health benefits. So it's best to keep a close watch on your accumulated daily consumption of vitamin A.
Be active, get regular exercise. Weight-bearing exercise like walking is essential to building and maintaining strong bones. You can get remarkable results from PACE too. It's not aerobics or cardio. PACE promotes good cardiopulmonary health and it's great for stronger bones too.

By Dr Al Sears Despite What Some Docs And Big Pharma May Want You To Believe, Introducing the powerful all-natural secret that helps you transform Mainstream medicine still has its head in the sand. Doctors and drug companies push the idea that the best way to treat and prevent osteoporosis is MORE calcium. However, it isn't true. As a country the US consumes the most calcium. Yet our rates of osteoporosis are the highest in the world. Countries where the people consume less have lower rates of hip fracture and osteoporosis.1 Consider this: A study of over 195,000 women found that drinking milk fortified with calcium had zero effect on the risk for hip fractures.Another study of 61,443 women over almost 20 years, found larger calcium intake did not reduce the risk of fractures of any type2, or of osteoporosis.3 The fact is calcium supplements don't prevent fractures due to bone loss.4 However, I've found a secret that – unlike calcium – can help transform soft aging bones into rejuvenated granite pillars of strength. Operating my own integrated natural health clinic over the last two decades has allowed me to do research into areas most doctors ignore. It's lead me to an all-natural hormone that helps supercharge your calcium absorption and fully supports natural bone growth. It's even better than what they mistakenly told you calcium would be. Just imagine having strong reliable bones, never having to pass up playing with your grandchildren, getting in 18 holes of golf with friends, sightseeing on vacation with your family, or not worrying about every time you lose your balance. Think about falls just being falls again...not "fractures" and massive medical bills...and having the ultimate freedom physically to do what you want, when you want. That's what this all-natural hormone can help you accomplish... Super Hormone Helps You Build Calcium supplements will give you a short-term boost in bone density. But that's it. Over time, your hormones will work against the extra calcium and leave your bones more brittle than before. But the truth is, your hormones control how much calcium sticks to your bones. They are the key. And there's one in particular, calcitriol, which helps strengthen your bones the way most doctors claim calcium does. It promotes bone growth. It takes control of the calcium in your body and accelerates its absorption. These are key factors you need for iron-hard bones. Yet, the mainstream has buried studies that prove just how powerful calcitriol is. What's worse is they continue to push calcium and toxic alternatives...
Calcitriol is a simple, but revolutionary way to help confront weakening bones as you age. Offering you help with calcium absorption (to best use what's in your body) and helping bone growth. A combination that will ensure you never have to fear giving up your favorite activities or being prone to fractures ever again. At my clinic, to make sure my patients get the right amount of calcitriol, I recommend a unique formula I've developed over the years that really works... You won't find this in any multi-vitamin, nutritional supplements or anything claiming to be "fortified" by vitamin D. It utilizes calcitriol – the bioactive, and most powerful form of vitamin D – to give you many benefits... but for my patients it ensures they get the most potent and fastest acting form of vitamin D you can find to help you fortify your bones... How Vitamin D And Calcitriol Vitamin D is a very powerful nutrient and hormone that helps promote bone growth and accelerate calcium absorption. In your body, it maintains proper blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. It acts like a traffic cop, telling calcium where to go by interacting with specific receptors. And this is where almost everyone else goes wrong with calcium... because it doesn't matter how much calcium you consume if your body isn't absorbing it. Vitamin D is essential for strong, healthy bones and teeth. Without enough vitamin D, your bones become thin and brittle, weakening them. Being able to promote normal, healthy bone growth and accelerate calcium absorption makes vitamin D an ideal aid as you get older. A three year study of 389 men and women over 65 found that vitamin D and calcium reduced bone loss in the neck, spine, and reduced the rate of non-vertebral fractures.8 Another study of 820 postmenopausal women found that taking vitamin D appears to protect bone from harmful effects of high PTH (parathyroid hormone levels).9 Why is that so important? Because high PTH can mean a chronic calcium imbalance which can hurt your overall bone health. Several large clinical trials indicate that 700-1,000 IU of vitamin D per day can lower fracture risk by 20%. 10 But as I said, it's one specific type of Vitamin D – calcitriol – that I use to help my patients promote bone growth and accelerate calcium absorption. The "Active" Form Of Vitamin D You Need What's the difference? There are two main forms of vitamin D. Vitamin D2 is the version you grew up with. It's what you find in fortified milk and cereals, and in almost all regular supplements. Not only is that the wrong vitamin D, manufacturers use the synthetic, chemical form of vitamin D2... not vitamin D3, which can boost your energy level, help you maintain a strong immune system, and give you D3's strongest bone-fortifying support.11 Vitamin D3 – calcitriol – is the active form of Vitamin D that your body makes when you go out in the sunshine. And it outperforms vitamin D2 in a few key areas...
Vitamin D3 is your best bet to get vitamin D into your system fast, and offers you fantastic bone support. Its ability to pump up calcium absorption is vital for your bones. In my clinic, I've had tremendous success implementing a program built around calcitriol and a selection of natural remedies that promotes healthy bone strengthening in patients. My goal is to maintain your bone's strength and durability so they don't slow you down. The last thing you want is to have to stop doing things you love because of your bones. Unfortunately, for many people it's a reality. That's why today I want to introduce you to a formula I created from our most successful bone-strengthening program, which includes calcitriol. But it's not just calcitriol… it includes something that very few doctors even associate with bone health… Forgotten Vitamin Helps Infuse Your Bones I'm talking about a specific form of the "forgotten" vitamin: vitamin K. This form has proven over and over again to provide my patients with outstanding bone fortifying support. I've helped hundreds of patients regulate their calcium and stabilize their bones using this specific kind of vitamin K. The science backs me up on this.. One study found that high intake of this form of vitamin K means higher bone mineral density, and less bone loss with aging. 14 I've found in my clinic what the author noted in his study … this form of vitamin K give peoples "superior bone properties." Yet most people don't even know this special form of vitamin K exists…let alone that it can help your bones. Ironically, like vitamin D, vitamin K comes in two forms as well. Vitamin K1 helps support your blood vessels and heart… but for your bones, you need the "other" vitamin K, called vitamin K2. It's only this form that aids with your bones' absorption of calcium to help make them stronger. Vitamin K2 is the one you want for bone support. One study found people getting just 100 micrograms of vitamin K2 daily (about one large serving of greens) were 30% less likely to break their hips than people who ate less than that amount. A randomized clinical study of 325 postmenopausal women showed that vitamin K2 helped to maintain bone strength at the site of the femoral neck by improving bone mineral content and width, compared to the placebo. 15 A 24-month randomized study separated 241 postmenopausal women into two groups, one that received no treatment while the other received vitamin K2. After 24-months, they found that the K2 group had a higher lumbar bone mineral density, and lower incidents of fractures compared to the non-treatment group. 16 What's been even more encouraging for my patients is the results they've seen when we've combined vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 together. The science backs up the benefits of this combination as well. A study of 92 postmenopausal women (between the ages of 55-81) separated into four groups, received vitamin D, vitamin K, calcium, or both vitamin D and vitamin K. Women who received both vitamin D3 and K2 "showed a significant increase in bone mineral density" compared to the other group. 17 It's one of the reason I'm so excited that my team and I created this formula that I call Ultra D3 Plus. It allows you to harness the power of this super bone-fortifying duo yourself. It provides you with the support you need...that you were told calcium would give you… in fact you'll… Transform Soft, Aging Bones Into Rejuvenated I'm happy to be able to offer you the finest bone support you can get. It's been a focus of my career to be able to help you this way... In fact, after I graduated medical school, I took a detour that not many doctors take. I became a board-certified clinical nutrition specialist. During that time, I studied the minerals and vitamins essential to your health. Plus how they interact. You see, hiding in nature are not just different forms of individual nutrients, but groups of different nutrients, minerals and vitamins. When you combine them, they offer a powerful and unique benefit to your health. This knowledge and my experience in my wellness clinic over the last two decades has allowed me to bring you supplements like Ultra D3 Plus, which offers a unique type of bone support that most doctors or medical professionals often don't anything about. The truth is they don't even teach what I'm sharing with you in medical school. For instance, the connection between vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 is a powerful one that most doctors simply won't know. I also include a proper amount of magnesium, which works particularly well with vitamin K2. You won't find many doctors who've trained in nutrition as I have. And it's helped me piece together numerous combinations of natural cures that pack quite a healing punch. Ultra D3 Plus includes proper dosages for vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 so they work together more effectively. Most supplements grossly underestimate your daily needs for vitamin D. And very few include the D3 form. It's not really anyone's fault, but the calculations the manufacturers use were based on what you would need during childhood to prevent rickets. Do you think your needs, as an adult to promote bone and general health might be a little higher? Of course. This is why I've included 5000 IU of D3 in Ultra D3 Plus. This gives your body access to enough calcitriol to make a difference in your health. And the beauty of it is, you only need to take one a day and you're all set. Ultra D3 Plus ensures you receive enough vitamin D3 to supercharge the bone-strengthening processes in your body. You won't believe the difference it'll make. It includes a healthy dose of vitamin K2, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and silicon too. You already know K2 is powerful, but I picked all of these ingredients specifically to give you the best chance to strengthen your bones. Weak and frail bones could cost you your mobility…an active lifestyle…and could mean expensive hospital bills from fractures. My hope is Ultra D3 Plus will help you avoid all of this, and have you dancing into your 80s!
