Is it possible to take Bone Care to give an intake of 1000mg - ie 5 times the stated dose - to provide closer to 100% of RDA - or is there a reason this would not be advised?I currently take a 1000mg Calcium supplement so am concerned about reducing to just 200mg.Hi, we don't recommend exceeding the daily dose of 2 x Bone Care tablets per day. This is to avoid undesirably consuming too much of certain nutrients (particularly Vitamin K2). It is fine to consider combining Bone Care with a basic Calcium tablet as a daily regime if you are seeking a higher overall intake of that particular mineral. We squeezed as much Calcium as we possibly could into the tablet without it being unfeasibly big.
I have osteopenia, 62 year old female . What supplements should I take help ? Hi, our Bone Care supplement is well worth trying. The ideal daily combination is our Bone Care + Omega-3.
Do you sell your Phytodroitin as a single ingredient powder directly to consumers? I would like to stop using the animal based chondroitin powder I use at present.Hi, we only use Phytodroitin in our Bone Care formula. However, we do make it available to other companies for use in their products. It is sold by Protec Nutra Ltd. They will be able to advise if other companies use Phytodroitin in direct-use powder products.
Hello, I'm interested in taking your Bone Care supplement. I already take your D-3 along with a plant based calcium and a Raw K2 Supplement, all vegan. If I take your Bone Care would I need to stop taking the D-3, K2 and Calcium that I already take? I have Osteoporosis that was diagnosed Sept. 2021, and had Osteopenia for many years prior so I have taken the Calcium, D-3 and K2 prior to the Sept diagnosis. I am also interested in a collagen supplement that you have talked about hopefully having a vegan one by the end of 2022. Is that still on track? Thank you, Dina Hi, we're confident you will like our Bone Care supplement. It constantly gets very strong feedback. We advise you do stop taking additional K2, as it is undesirable to double-up on that nutrient. It is fine to take additional D3 (as long as you remain under a collection 4000iu per day) and Calcium (up to 800mg per day collectively). Everything is ready with our Vegan Collagen supplement (the time of writing is November 2022), it is now just finalising the logistics in order to launch.

CAN I TAKE THE 2TABLETS OF BONE CARE TOGETHER?Hi, yes the daily dose for Bone Care is 2 x tablets. It is ideal to take them together with food. We recommend breakfast or lunchtime.
Could I take the bone care supplement along side the multi vitamin or would I be overdoing it on certain vitamins/nutrients? Is it better to alternate days or take both each day? Hi, we recommend using on alternate days. This is just to avoid an undesirable doubling-up of Vitamin K2 in particular.
Is your bone care supplement soy-free?Hi, yes it is free from soy and soy derivatives
Hi, What are the side effects of this product, if any? I started having diarrhoea as soon as I started taking it, and I didn’t change my diet other than that, so I’m wondering if this supplement is causing diarrhoea.Hi, there are no expected side effects and nothing in the formula should be contributing to any such negative effect.
Hello. I am 49 and vegan I have crunchy knees (don’t hurt) as I walk up the stairs and so I’m highly interested in your bone care supplement. However, I see that everywhere online says a good supplement will also include MSM, Boswellia, turmeric and hyaluronic acid (joint fluid) I’ve seen Schiff’s ‘move free’ https://www.schiffvitamins.com... formula which seems to produce fast results for joint comfort. But it says it’s vegetarian (but dairy free) Can you shed some more light on the efficacy of your supplement for me please? Thanks!Hi, our Bone Care supplement is definitely worth a try. We get excellent feedback on its performance. Formula-wise, it is a case of prioritising with the space we have. We've based Bone Care around Glucosamine and Phytodroitin (Chondroitin alternative, which includes a Hyaluronan), together with the key Vitamins and Minerals. MSM is a good nutrient, but we sadly have no space for it, without making the tablets even bigger. We love Turmeric, but again it takes a big space to provide a meaningful dose and so we are soon to launch a Turmeric supplement too.
HOLA, PUEDO TOMAR EL CALCIO SI ESTOY EN EMBARAZO Y CONSUMO OMEGA 3 Y Pregnancy CareHola, sí, está bien tomar esa combinación.Hi, yes it is fine to take that combination.

Hello, I am pleased that you use Phytodroitin in your Bone Care product, and I would like to make an order. Before I make an order I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions: - Is vitamin C in Bone Care Sodium Ascorbate? - is vitamin D3 in Bone Care algal? - is magnesium in Bone Care magnesium citrate? - is calcium in Bone Care calcium citrate? Thank you for your time. Anka Bagić SayreHi, the full ingredient lists for all products are on their respective website pages. We use Vitamin C as Ascorbic Acid, the Vitamin D3 is lichen origin, and it contains Magnesium Citrate and Calcium Carbonate.
I notice you use glycerin as a coating. Is this a vegetable glycerin?Hi, yes it is vegetal glycerine.
Dear sirs I have a question about the bone care supplement, my daughter suffers from growing pains in her heels and knees while sporting. Is this supplement recommended to help her heal more quickly? Can she take it in combination with your multivit and Omega-3? She also takes flexofytol plus, a supplement with curcuma, boswellia and vit d. My daughter is 11 years old and weighs about 35kg. Thanks for your advice! Best regardsHi, it is worth your Daughter trying a combination of our Bone Care and Omega-3 products. We don't recommend using the MultiVit at the same time, as it will undesirably double up on some nutrients. You can consider using Omega-3 everyday and alternating between Bone Care and MultiVit.
Hi! I am in love with your Omega-3 capsules and your multivitamin, and have been taking them for about three months now, I believe. I have some joint problems and feel lots of fatigue and brain fog, so I was considering trying your active energy capsules or your bone care capsules. That would mean using four of your products – is it advisable to use them together? Or should I alternate? Would that be too many products altogether? And when would bone care be back in stock, if you know? Thank you in advance :) Thank you for this wonderful brand. Hi, thank you for the kind words. While the products are all ok to combine, it is a lot to take (plus starts getting expensive!). Alternating is a good idea. Our advice is to initially introduce Bone Care to the regime, alternating with MultiVit, and trying that for a few weeks. Hopefully you will notice benefits to your joints but also in general for fatigue and focus due to the combination. If you still feel a need to address fatigue, Active Energy is worth trying after that point.
Hi, Can I take multi-vit, bone care and omega-3 together? Thanks, KushalHi, yes you can but please consider the doubling up of Vitamin C intake as a result.
Can a kidney transplant patient take these for knee andd ankle joint pain ??Hi, please consult your Doctor before taking any supplements as they can provide specific advice based on your individual medical history, and in consideration of any ongoing medication.

Next to the Multivit i want to take the Bone care supplement as i need the extra calcium, magnesium and vit D. I've read the recommendation to sequentially use them together. However when i take the Bone care 2 tablets a day the magnesium for Dutch standards is too high as the limit for a supplement is 250 mg next to food intake. So i was calculating and a daily intake of 1 Multivit + 1 bone care + vitashine D3 (1-2 sprays) would be ideal? Thanks in advance!Hi, that combination sounds fine and very beneficial!
To avoid duplication of nutrients can i use half a dose of MultiVit and half a dose of Bone Health daily?Hi, yes that is possible however the MultiVit is coated to protect the nutrients in this specific formula. Therefore we recommend considering using them sequentially (i.e. MultiVit Monday, Bone Care Tuesday, repeat).
May I check if your bone care supplements contain any iodine or algae or seaweed or anything plant from the sea? I am allergy with it ? And also if you have any multi supplements plant based that not contain those one I lists? Hi, yes Bone Care does contain two seaweed extracts as part of the Phytodroitin preparation. They are Ulva Lactuca Linnaeus Extract and Fucaceae Fucus Vesiculosus Extract. They both do contain trace levels of iodine.Our Omega-3 products are very benefits for Bones & Joints and don't contain any iodine. They contain Microalgae but these do not naturally contain any iodine.
What is the raw material / source of listed ingredients 1. 'Glucosamine HCL' , 2. Glycosaminoglycan Polysaccharides, 3.

Do you have any research showing the benefits of the supplement in inflamation of the joints? The scientific studies that i found showed possible benefits in doses 1500mg of glucosamine per day and i did not found any scientific data about Phytodrotin. I you could send me some scientific data about it, i would be very gratefulHi, we conducted studies on volunteers during the development of Bone Care and got some really good feedback. However, due to regulations in Europe surrounding product wording around inflammation and pain, we are not permitted to make any such claims or publish data seen as making claims. We are very confident you will perceive benefits. Please let us know how you get on!
I read in several places that Magnesium and Calcium compete with each other for the same sites, and so should be taken separately at different times of the day. Your bone formulation has them together. Not optimal?Hi, this is where the formula design is so important. We use very specific forms of each mineral in order to optimise absorption, and in many cases keep them apart. We use Magnesium Citrate for that exact reason, ensuring no negative interaction with Calcium.
Buongiorno, MultiVit e Bone Care contengono anche vitamine liposolubili, per un miglior assorbimento è preferibile che vengano presi ad un pasto contenente un po’ di grassi sani?Ciao, sì, consigliamo sempre di assumere tutti gli integratori con il cibo. Ciò garantisce un assorbimento ottimale. Grazie Hi, yes we always recommend taking all supplements with food. This ensures optimum absorption. Thanks
I'm only 39 but I've been diagnosed with osteopenia in my hips. I've had 3 children. I've been recommended to take calcium and vitamin d. Will this be enough calcium? Hi, thank you for getting in touch. Bone Care provides the really powerful combination of Calcium + D3 + K2. You will hopefully find it makes a real difference. It's difficult to know exactly how much calcium you require. Our advice is to start with Bone Care and see how things are after a few weeks. Hopefully you will feel improvements. If you take Bone Care alongside other multivitamins, there will be some doubling up of nutrients so it is worth considering using sequentially (i.e. Bone Care on Monday, Multivit Tuesday, repeat).
Is this soy free?Yes Bone Care is Soy free.
Cortesemente mi fate sapere se la K2 contenuta in Bone Care è del tipo K2 MK-7? Grazie e salutiCiao, sì, usiamo la vitamina K2 MK-7. Hi, yes we use Vitamin K2 MK-7.
Can the tablets be crushed to be added to food?Hi, the tablet is coated in order to protect the nutrients and is also pretty hard, so it isn't particularly well suitable to being crushed and added to food to be honest.
Can joint vie be taken along with the multivitamins and vitamin d vegetology products? ThanksHi, there are a few nutrients in Bone Care that also appear in MultiVit. Our recommendation would be to alternate, so e.g. Bone Care + Vitashine Vitamin D3 on Monday, MultiVit + Vitashine Vitamin D3 on Tuesday, repeat. If you really do want to combine on the same day, the combined levels are within known safe limits.
I am currently taking Glucosamine from Corn, but it seems to be effecting my sleep which is a known side effect, i wondered if you have had anyone that has experienced this with glucosamine and then tried your version without getting the insomnia side effect? As your version is from algae ? Hi, we haven't had any feedback along these lines. It is worth considering our Bone Care product, which is getting excellent feedback.
Can Bone Care be taken with Vitamin D3 2500IU? How much IU does this have?Hi, Bone Care contains 400iu Vitamin D3, so that would be a combined daily amount of 2900iu. That is a high dose but is still well below the recognised upper safe limit (which is 4000iu per day for everyday use).
Can I have Bone Care with Methyl Sulfonyl Methane?Hi, yes it is fine to combine Bone Care with MSM.
What complications would potentially arise if I took Bone Care with MultiVit?Hi, we don't recommend combining multivitamin formulas because it is not always desirable to double up on certain nutrients, particularly minerals. From a safety perspective, there is no issue though in combining Bone Care and MultuVit, should you want to try it. One option (to save cost) is to alternative between them each day.
Which bodies have approved your products?Hi, the main regulations we work to are European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Australia Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, and we're audited accordingly. Auditing is conducted by local and international authorities.
Can Bone be taken in combination with both Omega-3 and active energy complex ? Hi, this combination can be used but please keep in mind it will result in a total of 240mg Vitamin C, which is above the recommended daily intake. The cumulative level of Vitamin D3 will also be higher, but we know that levels from 200-1000iu are very good in this case.
I notice you have many nutrients in this pill. I do not have any joint issues at all. As such, is there a harm in taking these unnecessary "extra" ingredients such as Glucosamine or Phytodroitin? Hi, there are no contraindications or problems in taking Glucosamine or Phytodroitin if you aren't experiencing joint issues. Bone Care is suitable for everyone, even if just taken as a Multivitamin rather than targeting Bones & Joints.
hi can I give these to my dog?Hi, if you can persuade your dog to take the tablets, Bone Care will offer very good joint care benefits. We have quite a few customers doing this, although I guess compliance from the dog is hit and miss!

Is your Calcium rock or plant based calcium?It is calcium rock. We did look at plant-based calcium, but the cost was significantly higher without any absorption/efficacy or environmental benefit. We try to keep our supplements as affordable as possible without compromising quality.
Is Bone Care Advanced Bone & Joint Formula effective in solving arthritis and osteoporosis problem in old age (aged over 75 years)? If yes, what is effective duration for supplementation?Bone Care is designed to help alleviate bone & joint problems.

We recommend trying Joint-Vie for 1 month (2 tablets per day, so complete use of 1 full bottle).
Why does Bone Care contain lower than the RDA of Calcium and Magnesium?This is just down to size. To add more calcium and magnesium, we would need bigger tablets due to everything else in there. We have packed as much as possible into them, and the focus of Bone Care is a balance with the other key nutrients such as K2, Glucosamine and Phytodroitin rather than just being about the minerals.
Does Bone Care contain Carrageenan?No, Bone Care doesn't contain carrageenan.
