While virtually any type of stress is potential wear and tear for bones. One form, too many toxins, can wreak havoc with bone strength and optimal bone health.

For example, the cadmium in cigarettes is known to displace zinc within bone structure. This means that smoking is inherently weakening to your bone mass, not only because it reduces the flow of circulation and overall nutrition to the bone, but because its toxins directly disrupt optimal bone integrity. Extra zinc is found in our Strengthener Plus product.*

The fatty nature of the insides of bone is an interesting point that takes on significant importance now that it is recognized that leptin helps regulate bone formation. This also means that fat soluble toxins of many types may accumulate in bone and disrupt bone health. This was recently proven with dioxins, a breakdown toxin of PCBs, which are still widely in the U.S. food supply. Nutrients like chlorella help binds PCBs and related toxins, helping to defend you from this form of toxic stress. Chlorella is in our popular general detox product, Daily Balancer, along with the NF-kappaB modulating bone support nutrient, R-alpha lipoic acid. We also have chlorella in higher potency as a stand alone product.*

It is also the case that various natural byproducts of metabolism, if elevating too high, may be stressful to bone architecture and thus bone strength. Such is the case for the normal liver byproduct known as homocysteine. Homocysteine is efficiently metabolized with the help of B vitamins like folic acid, B12, and B6. Products like Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin or Super B Complex not only help boost your energy, they also promote the healthy metabolism of homocysteine.*
