Bone Superior Calcium for Lasting Bone Health 99% of the calcium found in the human body provides structural support in bones and teeth while the other 1% enables proper muscle and nervous system functioning, hormonal and enzymatic signaling, and blood circulation. Unfortunately, if sufficient dietary calcium is not available, the mineral is depleted from bones and teeth. Over time, the depletion leads to osteopenia (or low bone mass, which affects 34 million Americans) and later, to osteoporosis (or porous, fragile bones, affecting 10 million Americans). While the USDA recommends adults receive 1,000 – 1,200 mg/day of calcium, it has found that 55% of American men and 78% of American women over the age of 20 do not get these levels (a typical American diet provides 450 mg/day). Vara Bone is formulated with the optimal form of calcium: calcium citrate. In contrast, many supplements only offer calcium carbonate, a less expensive and less bioavailable calcium that carries a higher risk of kidney stones. Vara Bone also includes Vitamin D, which is necessary for calcium’s proper absorption and use. Take care of your health every day and preserve your bone health with the most effective source of calcium.

Over time, aggressive athletics as well as everyday joint use can irritate and inflame cartilage, which in turn causes pain and swelling. Eventually, cartilage degenerates and in advanced cases, disappears, with pain and joint immobility as the unfortunate result. Cartilage degeneration affects over 20 million Americans and is called osteoarthritis. Scientific authorities broadly support the use of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate in osteoarthritis treatment. In a large, multicenter NIH-sponsored clinical trial, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate were found to provide significant symptom improvement for moderate and severe sufferers of osteoarthritis. It is thought that these two compounds regenerate and decrease the breakdown of cartilage as well as increase joint fluidity and flexibility. The OsteoArthritis Research Society International recommends chondroitin sulfate as the second most effective treatment for moderate arthritis and the European League Against Rheumatism gives it the highest recommendation. The Mayo Clinic also gives glucosamine an “A” for osteoarthritis treatment. Vara Joint provides 375mg of glucosamine and 300mg of chondroitin sulfate in a single pill. Unlike many other glucosamine supplements, Vara Bone also includes 375 mg of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), an organosulfur compound that has been shown in osteoarthritis clinical trials to significantly reduce pain and improve physical functioning.
