Calcium
Calcium is a vital nutrient found in various foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, and many fortified items. Over 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, predominantly as hydroxyapatite. The remaining calcium circulates in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles, and other tissues, where it is essential for processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction, vascular activities, glandular secretion, and maintaining cell membrane and capillary permeability. It also plays critical roles in enzyme reactions, respiration, kidney function, and blood clotting, and is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone release, amino acid uptake, vitamin B12 absorption, and gastrin secretion. Calcium balance changes with age: it is positive during periods of growth, stable in adulthood, and tends to become negative in older age. Calcium loss occurs through feces, urine, sweat, and shedding skin cells. In women, reduced estrogen levels decrease calcium absorption and retention, increase bone turnover, and lead to lower bone mass. Calcium supplements come in various forms, including citrate and carbonate, which differ mainly in their calcium content and absorption rates. Calcium citrate is easily absorbed and can be taken without food, making it suitable for older adults or those with low stomach acid. In contrast, calcium carbonate, which contains a higher percentage of calcium, is best absorbed when taken with meals.

Silicon
Silicon, atomic number 14, is the second most abundant element on Earth, after oxygen. It is present in the human body in small amounts (such as in the skin, hair, and nails) and is considered a trace mineral in that regard. Dietary sources of silicon include oats, barley, rice, and some fruits/vegetables. Silicon is a popular dietary supplement, often consumed in the form of silica, which is a chemical compound made up of silicon and oxygen, or as silicic acid (also known as orthosilicic acid). Another common form of silicon utilized is Choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA), which is the active ingredient in the popular product Biosil. Silicon is used for its purported effects to improve the health and appearance of the skin, hair, and nails. It has also historically been used for other health conditions, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline.

| General Statements |
- Optimum Skeletal Support and Calcium Utilization
- Vitamin K has always been well-known for its essential role in blood clotting and not surprisingly, the name Vitamin K is derived from the German word Koagulation, which is the equivalent of our word coagulation or clotting. Of course, it is important to note that Vitamin K should not be used by those receiving treatment for blood clotting issues. More than essential for blood clotting, Vitamin K plays a number of other vital functions in the body, the most important of which is the discovery of its crucial role in the movement, integration and retention of Calcium in bone. This essential role of Vitamin K in bone health has been confirmed by numerous studies that have shown that healthy levels of Vitamin K are associated with improved support of the skeleton. Unfortunately, like so many of the most important nutrients, Vitamin K is found in the healthiest foods that Americans avoid, such as green leafy vegetables. Making matters worse is the fact that very little Vitamin K can be stored in the body and what little we retain is rapidly utilized requiring constant replenishment through diet or supplementation. When combined with a diet or supplement regime rich in Calcium and Vitamin D, our Vitamin K-500 provides a convenient, inexpensive and effective means of achieving the levels of Vitamin K necessary to support optimum bone and skeletal health.
