And the company responsible for this significant news, Garden of Life, is so confident in their new bone-building supplement—called Vitamin Code® Grow Bone System— that their guarantee is also a big deal.

If your bones are not healthier, stronger and more dense after 180 days as evidenced by a full-body dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, Garden of Life says it will refund not one month, not two, but double all six months of your Grow Bone System purchase.

“No other company offers any guarantee even close to this because no other company is as certain of their product’s efficacy,” says Garden of Life founder and CEO Jordan Rubin.

THE CALCIUM MYTH

Did you know that most calcium supplements only slow bone loss? But with the right nutrition you can actually stimulate bone growth and increase bone strength regardless of your age—just like participants did in a recent clinical study that was carried out by researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center and Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, D.C. Most study participants increased bone mineral density within 180 days.

PLANT CALCIUM—THE BETTER ORGANIC SOURCE

The cornerstone of the Grow Bone System is a new discovery—an organic, plant-sourced calcium form derived from a unique South American marine algae (Algas calcareas)   known as AlgaeCal RAW. Most other calcium supplements are derived from limestone rock and are labeled as “calcium carbonate.”

The AlgaeCal marine plant draws calcium from sea water and pre-digests it for you. Plant-digested calcium is so bio-active that 97 percent of Algae- Cal’s calcium goes into solution within 30 minutes using United States Pharmaceutical (USP) standard tests simulating stomach conditions, proving it is very bio-accessible. Imagine how easily this form of calcium—together with every trace mineral cofactor— returns to bone.

THE VITAMIN K2 SECRET FOR BONE HEALTH

Most people understand the need for calcium and vitamin D, but few are aware of a recently discovered powerful combination of nutrients clinically proven to produce significant bone growth. Vitamin K2, strontium, and trace minerals have been revealed to play an important role in increasing bone mineral density, even among post-menopausal women. Many people have taken calcium plus vitamin D for several years with little or no results, because these other important and vital nutrients must also be included to effectively stimulate bone growth.

JAPANESE BONE HEALTH RESEARCH YOU NEED

Japanese medical researchers recently conducted 10 clinical studies on vitamin K2 with impressive bone mineral density increases. Vitamin K2 is generally derived from a native Japanese food called natto, which is made with fermented soy beans. This vitamin is very expensive, so it has been slow

to reach the rest of the world in spite of its proven benefit. Also, because vitamin K2 has been available historically, it cannot be patented, so the financial incentive for developing this product internationally has been diminished. Vitamin K2 has remained a Japanese secret until now. Several bone health formulas contain vitamin K1, but the clinical evidence for bone health benefits for K1 is minimal compared to K2.

A FRENCH DISCOVERY HAS A DOUBLE BENEFIT FOR YOUR BONES

Three large clinical trials in France have just concluded, uncovering substantial changes in bone health and reduced fracture risk with the use of the mineral strontium as a supplement. Strontium is a common element that is naturally found in your bones, and the studies show supplementation with strontium is completely safe. Bone growth stimulation from strontium has been found to be much better than calcium supplements alone.

Researchers have also discovered strontium has a unique double benefit for bones. On a cellular level, bone is continuously growing and being reabsorbed at the same time; bone growth drugs or rock-based calcium effect only one side of the equation. Strontium inhibits bone resorption while simultaneously stimulating bone growth.

DOES YOUR CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT CONTAIN BORON?

Boron is one of the most critical components for supporting healthy bone matrix. Without boron, the absorption of calcium can be limited and often underutilized. Researchers have concluded that boron is an essential factor in facilitating the bone-building effects of key nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. Numerous studies demonstrate boron is critical to maintaining and improving one’s bone health.

YOU NEED MORE VITAMIN D THAN THE CURRENT RDI

With all of the recent studies showing the many benefits of an increased intake of vitamin D there is now mounting pressure to raise the Recommended Dietary Intake levels. These major studies have shown that a higher vitamin D intake can not only have a big impact on bone health, but also plays a big role in the prevention of cancer. You will receive a healthy dose of 1600 IU of vitamin D3 in a daily serving of Grow Bone.

AlgaeCal RAW is more than a bio-available organic calcium supplement. AlgaeCal RAW contains high levels of natural magnesium, plus more than 70 trace minerals and phytonutrients—including zinc, manganese, copper, boron and strontium—all pre-digested by this unique marine algae to create a remarkable whole-food calcium and mineral supplement. You get a full spectrum of minerals and sea plant nutrients working for you instead of a single element like most calcium supplements. And it works. And they believe this so strongly their guarantee is their word.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER

Vitamin Code Grow Bone with AlgaeCal RAW is a pure, raw, vegan, organic, whole food plant-sourced calcium supplement—naturally loaded with bone-building trace minerals—and contains full dosages of vitamins K2 and D3, live probiotics and enzymes, and 22 organically grown fruits and vegetables. Backed by clinical proof, AlgaeCal RAW and the natural bone growth nutrients found in the Grow Bone formula are safe for children and adults.

Hardly anyone thinks about bone loss, but it is inevitable, so it’s best to slow it down as much as you can. Take the Grow Bone Challenge today.
