For stronger muscles and bones
AS we age and our body composition changes, we experience a decrease in muscle and bone mass.
Bones provide structural support to our bodies while muscles provide the strength and force to move our bodies. Therefore, their decline can limit one’s mobility and increase the risk of falls.
Keeping muscles and bones strong in one’s advanced years is crucial in protecting mobility and independence.
Protein is an essential nutrient that helps preserve muscle and bone strength by stimulating muscle protein synthesis and calcium metabolism.
Calcium also serves a vital role in maintaining bone structure, providing integrity and density to our skeleton.
However, supplementation with calcium alone is not enough to maintain optimal body density.
Several studies such as a 2017 study titled The Synergistic Interplay between Vitamins D and K for Bone and Cardiovascular Health: A Narrative Review published in the International Journal of Endocrinology have shown that a combination of calcium with other nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 significantly improved bone health.
Magnesium and vitamin D3 facilitate the absorption and utilisation of calcium while vitamin K2 helps improve bone density by effectively depositing calcium to bones and teeth for proper storage. Hence, these nutrients work synergistically for effective calcium utilisation and metabolism.
According to the European Food Safety Authority, vitamin K2 (menaquinone, MK-7) is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin K that helps maintain healthy bones.
Biogrow HPF-5 PLUS is a new and improved formula with a blend of plant protein and digestive fibre. It is enhanced with nutrients for bone and muscle health such as calcium, magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2.
