healthyselves.net - Karuna 7116 Ipriflavone: Natural Isoflavone Multi Vitamin Mineral Bone Support Capsules

Ipriflavone: Naturally-occurring isoflavone phytonutrients with Vitamin D3 and citrate-malate source calcium and magnesium.

Extensive basic and clinical data on the isoflavone derivative ipriflavone suggests that it is a safe and efficacious alternative to estrogen therapy for increasing bone mass in postmenopausal women (Menopause 1999;6:233-41).
Vitamin D is the precursor of 1,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol, an extremely potent hormone that promotes the intestinal absorption of calcium. Vitamin D supplementation can augment the favorable effect of calcium supplementation on bone health in postmenopausal women (Amer J Clin Nut 1995;61:1140-45).
Recently updated guidelines recommend increased Vitamin D intakes for bone mass protecion (J Am Diet Assoc 1998;98:699-706).
Vitamin D deficiency has increased among the elderly according to recent studies (Am J Clin Nutr 1997;66:929-36).
Vitamin D in combination with calcium has prevented bone fractures in clinical studies of the elderly (Nutr Rev 1998;56:148-50).
Vitamin K, interacting with calcium and possibly vitamin D, has an important role in the maintenance of bone formation and bone density (Osteoporos Int 1999;9 Suppl 2:S48-52).
Low vitamin K status is associated with impaired bone health (Am J Clin Nutr 1999;69:74-9), and supplemental K supports normal bone metabolism (Int J Sports Med 1998;19:479-84).
Calcium, as the citrate/malate salt, has been shown to be a preferred form of calcium supplement and to reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women (N Engl J Med 1990;323:878-83).
Less than 10% of women in the U.S. have adequate calcium intakes (J Am Coll Nutr 1999;18:406S-412S).
Calcium supplements help protect bone mass and prevent osteoporosis at all life stages: childhood (J Clin Invest 1997;99:1287-94), adulthood (J Nutr 1995;125:2802-13), and old age (Am J Ther 1999;6:303-11).
Calcium supplements reduce the risk of bone fractures in many osteoporotic patients (Clin Ther 1999;21:1058-72, J Bone Miner Res 1996;11:1961-6).
Low magnesium intake is common among women and the elderly (Magnes Res 1992;5:61-7, J Am Coll Nutr 1999;18:406S-412S).
Magnesium malabsorption is common among osteoporotic women (Magnesium 1983;2:139-43)
Magnesium supplements stabilize bone turnover (J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1998;83:2742-8) and improved bone density in a controlled clinical trial (Magnesium Res 1993;6:155-63).
Horsetail is a natural source of the mineral silicon, which appears to play important roles in the formation and maintenance of connective tissue (Nutr Today 1993;28:13-8).
Boron can increase the levels of hormones that retain calcium in bones, and can reduce urinary excretion of calcium and magnesium (FASEB J 1987;1:394-7).
Normal boron nutritional status is beneficial for optimal calcium and bone metabolism (Am J Clin Nutr 1995;61:341-5).

Natural sources, hypoallergenic.
