Osteo-B IITM, like Osteo-B Plus®, is a comprehensive bone support formula. Bone is a dynamic tissue that requires adequate nutrition for maintenance and growth. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake throughout life has been linked to a reduced risk of osteoporosis through the mechanism of optimizing peak bone mass in adolescence and early adulthood, or slowing the rate of bone loss in those with a family history of the disease, postmenopausal women, and older men and women. While calcium is an important component in supporting bone health, other nutritional synergists are equally important in supporting and nourishing the skeletal system. Osteo-B II provides key nutritional synergists, including calcium and magnesium, in a 1:1 ratio. Osteo-B IITM is similar to the Osteo-B Plus product, however, Osteo-B II is a smaller tablet that does not contain copper, uses phosphorylated forms of B vitamins and, as noted above, provides calcium and magnesium in a 1:1 ratio.
