Thorne Advanced Bone Support (formerly Oscap)

Thorne Advances Bone Support is a specialized, multi-nutrient formula designed to provide comprehensive support for bone density and long-term skeletal health. While bone loss is a natural part of aging, certain populations, particularly women nearing or past menopause, face a higher risk, underscoring the importance of proactive bone support. Thorne's formula focuses on enhanced mineral absorption. It features Dicalcium Malate and DiMagnesium Malate, chelated mineral forms that offer greater bioavailability and concentration of calcium and magnesium compared to standard forms. Magnesium is critical for bone structure, as it optimizes the secretion of parathyroid hormone and facilitates active calcium transport into the bones, helping to promote bone mineralization. Vitamin D3 is included because it is essential for regulating calcium absorption in the gut. Boron assists the body's metabolism of both Vitamin D and estrogen, two hormones that play a significant role in bone metabolism. Beyond essential minerals, the formula addresses biochemical pathways linked to low bone density. Elevated blood homocysteine levels can compromise the integrity of the bone matrix. This supplement includes active, methylated B vitamins—Methylcobalamin (Vitamin B12 ), L-5-MTHF (Folate), and Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate (Vitamin B6)—to support healthy methylation and help maintain already normal homocysteine levels. The formulation is Vitamin K-free, making it suitable for individuals concurrently taking blood-thinning medication. One bottle of Thorne Advances Bone Support contains 120 capsules. Serving size is 2 capsules.

Benefits

• Superior Mineral Absorption: Features highly bioavailable Dicalcium Malate and DiMagnesium Malate for optimal uptake, directly supporting bone density and skeletal health.
