Approximately 1 out of 3 American women will develop osteoporosis severe enough to cause a fracture. Take control of your risk for developing osteoporosis.

Who should take Osteo Guard?

	People lacking adequate amounts of calcium in their diet. Most people should get 1,000 – 1,500 mg of calcium per day.
	Pre-menopausal, post-menopausal, and perimenopausal women
	Post-menopausal women on hormone replacement therapy and on regular exercise programs should incorporate Osteo Guard into their regimen to maintain the health of their bones.
	Individuals who are lactose intolerant.
	Teenagers who have a family history of osteoporosis.

Distinct Active Ingredients and Patient Benefits

	Because the body can only absorb so much Calcium  at one time, it is important that Calcium be available for absorption at a steady pace. Osteo Guard is formulated with seven sources of Calcium with different ionization rates to promote bioavailability and avoid bombarding the digestive system with too much Calcium at one time.
	The Calcium, magnesium, boron, zinc and manganese minerals used in Osteo Guard are wrapped in amino acids, which are more easily absorbed by the body.
	Magnesium helps convert Vitamin D to its biologically active form; Vitamin D is essential for intestinal Calcium absorption
	Boron reduces urinary excretion of both Calcium and Magnesium
	Boron and Zinc are included for normal formation of bone architecture.
	The ingredients Silica and L-Glutamic Acid in Osteo Guard are essential for hair and nail formation.

Additional Patient Benefits

	Osteo Guard is manufactured to over-the-counter pharmaceutical standards – the highest quality standards available.
	The Calcium used in Clinician’ Choice™ products is lead-free. Many sources of Calcium, such as dolomite and oyster shell contain lead.
	Osteo Guard contains seven different kinds of Calcium, all lead free, for triphasic absorption throughout the day and greater bioavailability. Many products contain only one kind of Calcium (Calcium  Carbonate) that is quickly neutralized or has only one phase of absorption.
	The formula includes Magnesium to help activate vitamin D, Manganese, and Betaine that are necessary for the absorption of Calcium. Supplements that only contain Calcium without the Vitamin D, Magnesium and other nutrient ingredients  required for proper absorption and uptake of Calcium will mostly be excreted.
	Women on Osteo Guard should notice a significant  improvement in their hair and nails within four weeks  of beginning the product.

Dosage Schedule

Studies show that vitamins are better absorbed when taken twice or more per day.

	Two tablets in the morning and two tablets in the  evening to help prevent osteoporosis.
	Two tablets three times a day for anyone with osteopenia, osteoporosis or who is postmenopausal and not on hormone replacement therapy.
