The hydroxyapatite used in this formula is obtained from raw bone matrix. Hydroxyapatite is an effective form of calcium for for bone support. BONE DENSITY FACTORS with Boron A nutritional aid for periodontal and skeletal support. Research has shown that as we age, our bones lose moisture. The moisture in bones, including the jaw bone,comes from a jelly-like substance called "proteoglycons". This jelly-like fluid is a transfer medium for theminerals that make bones and teeth hard. Bones serve as a reservoir for minerals and there is an ongoingturnover of these minerals for cellular needs. Stores are rebuilt with minerals absorbed from the diet if sufficientmoisture is present. Brittle, dry bones fracture easily, and this is a special problem for the elderly. Agingindividuals both break bones more easily and find it more difficult to mend once the breaks occur. It's an established fact that hormone levels affect the uptake and loss of calcium. In post menopausal women,estrogen levels fall, resulting in less calcium absorption. The mineral, boron, has been shown to assist in slightlyelevating estrogen levels. Other hormones are necessary for calcium uptake; some of which require Vitamin D. Calcium is imbedded in the collagen bone matrix in a specific way. This crystalline calcium is calledhyd
