Magnesium:
Magnesium is a component of the bone structure and helps to boost calcium absorption. Research suggests that it may also reduce bone loss and contribute to maintaining bone mineral density. It plays a role in nerve impulse transmission and protein synthesis. Also, functions to provide stability to ATP (the energy molecule) in the body.

Potassium
Provides potassium which contributes to maintaining bone mineral density. Insufficient levels of potassium contribute to bone fragility.

Calcium/Phosphorous Ratio:
Similar ratio to that found in the human bone and milk. Both calcium and phosphorous are required for bone development and changes in bone density have been linked to having the appropriate ratio of calcium to phosphorous.

Lactose:
Contains 9% lactose, which stimulates the transport of calcium for intestinal absorption; the retention of calcium once absorbed by the body by inhibition of the citric acid cycle; the absorption of other important elements such as magnesium, barium, and zinc.

Protein:
Helps aid in the solubility and suspendibility of calcium. Protein is an important dietary component that aids in bone development. Fifty percent of bone is collagen (protein) and if deficient in protein, bones become brittle.

Particle Size:
Available in two forms including a finer milled product which offers a smooth mouthfeel and better suspendibility in fluid applications.
