A dietary supplement for benefitting human bone health includes a calcium
source, a source of vitamin D activity, and an osteoblast stimulant. A
preferred calcium source is microcrystalline hydroxyapatite, which also
contains protein (mostly collagen), phosphorus, fat, and other minerals. A
preferred source of vitamin D activity is cholecalciferol, and a preferred
osteoblast stimulant is ipriflavone. In addition to these basic
ingredients, the composition can further include various other minerals
known to occur in bone, vitamin C, and glucosamine sulfate, all of which
exert beneficial effects on growth and maintenance of healthy bone. A
method for benefitting human bone health involves administering a daily
regimen of the dietary supplement.
