Dr. Wallach's Majestic Earth "Beyond Osteo fx ™ Powder " is formulated to support healthy bones and joints, Beyond Osteo fx Plus™ meets the U.S. daily requirements for people over age 50 with 1,200 mg of calcium, and contains the co-factors necessary to help your body better absorb and retain calcium. With bone and joint health becoming an increasing concern for many adults, Beyond Osteo-fx™ Powder was formulated to help support optimal bone and joint health. Beyond Osteo-fx supplies you with more than the daily recommended intake of calcium along with the nutrients needed to enhance calcium absorption by the body. The Human frame; composed of 206 bones of living tissues; provide structural support for muscles, protect organs and store the calcium for bone density and strength. To keep bones strong, the body is continually breaking down old bone and replacing it with new bone tissue. Until the age of 30 Bone is built and stored efficiently then; as part of the natural aging process, bones begin to break down faster than new bone can be formed. The body needs calcium to support functions including development and repair of bones and teeth, nerve function, muscle contraction, blood clotting and support of proper function of the heart. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests that individuals maintain a healthy lifestyle, take in adequate quantity of calcium and engage in weight-bearing exercise in order to support the strengthening of the body's bones. In order for calcium to be absorbed efficiently by your body, it needs other mineral cofactors. Another important co-factor in Dr. Wallach's Majestic Earth Beyond Osteo Fx™ Powder is the 300 mg of magnesium, which is an essential mineral involved in more than 300 systems in the human body. Magnesium is found mostly in green leafy vegetables but the USDA says we are not eating enough fruits and vegetables! The refined foods, which make up most of our diet, generally have the lowest magnesium and overall nutritional content. Beyond OsteoFx™ Powder is the answer to this deficit--it is never too late to commit to bone and joint health with a nutritional step in the right direction!
