Healthy Bones Company

Please I clude links to the scientific research that has been done.

I don’t know how to put on a link . Just search for Healthy Bones Co. website. The founder/owner is Kevin Ellis. Sorry about the link. You will learn more if you sign up for one of his free one hour webinars.

Yes. I've been on the website.

In looking at the website again under the tab at the top “learn’” there are questions and info about many of the products. Under Osteofraxx which I am taking it cites studies done to show its efficacy as well as ingredient info. Also info under FAQ tab. Hope this helps some.

After having broken my back (slip&fall), hip (pothole), femur (fall from an adverse drug reaction from pain pump implant) my bones are questionable and I have chronic pain. I know my bones aren't the strongest and, too, don't want to take meds for bone growth (serious potential side effects). I don't trust any ad that encourages bone growth or supplements because there are too many snake oil salesmen out to make a buck. Personal opinion only. I should also add that I have serious side effects w/almost all drug classifications, am working w/physical therapy to strengthen my muscles to help support my bones. I don't pay attention to reviews because too many are planted and I have serious trust issues with those who want to sell me anything. If you do a deep dive on all of the ingredients and potential side effects you will be amazed at what's in them. Sometimes all they contain are simple vitamins with fillers that can be had with diet changes or plain vitamin supplementation. Educate yourself.

You have really been through a lot. I have done a ton of study on various supplements. I just have hope that Healthy Bones Co. is different and honest. I have watched two webinars so far and they send me tons of educational emails. Over 3,000 women are taking their supplements and many say their DEXA scan results improved. I realize they may not work for me but am willing to take the risk. I need to heal my ankle so I can drive again. My husband has serious health issues and doing all our errands and more is wearing him out.

Our ancestors had healthy bones when their food from animal sources had sufficient vitamin K2, The animals, (cows, chickens) were on pasture and made K2 from what they ate in the pasture. Now with the animals in enclosed buildings, we get very little K2 in our dairy or meats.

Today, many people supplement with vitamin D3 and calcium which gets the calcium to the arteries but only a small amount of calcium to the bones. That calcifies the arteries causing further health problems and does not help the bones. Our bones are in a constant rebuilding process so they need calcium or will become brittle. K2 will get it there.

K2 supplements are available, but if you are on blood thinners you need to consult with your doctor before taking K2.

This is an excerpt from an article at the National Library of Medicine: "Proper Calcium Use: Vitamin K2 as a Promoter of Bone and Cardiovascular Health":

"Osteoblasts produce osteocalcin, which helps take calcium from the blood circulation and bind it to the bone matrix. In part, osteocalcin influences bone mineralization through its ability to bind to the mineral component of bone, hydroxyapatite, which in turn makes the skeleton stronger and less susceptible to fracture. The newly made osteocalcin, however, is inactive, and it needs vitamin K2 to become fully activated and bind calcium.

That requirement alone makes vitamin K2 a major player in bone health, but its importance does not stop there. Vitamin K2 also keeps calcium from accumulating in the walls of blood vessels."

My wife and I take a vitamin K2 supplement. It is the MK7 form 180 mg per day. No bone problems. (We are 80.) K2 is fat soluble so take it with a meal that has fat, like eggs. I take mine with a spoon of olive oil. Good luck!

@searcher1 thank you for the info and link regarding K2. I read it all with interest.

@searcher1 i’m sorry, but I don’t agree with your proposals. I don’t think they are scientifically based and evidenced. Vitamin K comes from non-animal food sources as well. Also people (which I think you did mention) with blood clotting issues need to discuss any supplementation with their doctors. Especially those who have had thrombosis. Vitamin K1 seems to be equally as important and all of this can be gotten acquired through non-animals sources like fermented products and supplements.

I want to suggest a couple things. Building bones after you are post menopausal is not an easy feat. In addition what you eat and supplement with does not get directly to your bones digestion is a very complex process. Sometimes you eat essential components and then your body fabricates what is needed and tries to get that to your muscles and bones. You should have your blood test tested and do metabolic labs before you start any supplementation as an older person. Why? Because some people have blood clotting issues, heart issues, kidney issues, intestinal track issues, which means that one size does not fit all and must be monitored by a doctor. Let me give you an example 3 times in my life. Doctors have tried to give me calcium supplements as a pre-menopausal, then menopausal woman. Three times they’ve called me up and they’ve told me do not take the calcium supplements. My bloodcalcium score is exactly the same no matter what I do a perfect 9.6. If I had taken any supplements, I would have damaged my artery, valve and heart wall walls. I ended up inheriting, familial family artery disease. So to have any addition of calcium was going to have a negative impact. What became a problem for me was my digestive intestinal track. It turns out that I was lactose intolerant my whole life and no one knew. Miraculously I did some testing after my lumbar fusion surgery in 2019 and I found out the ugly truth that I had completely damaged my small intestines. It is taken me five or six years to repair all of this with proper nutrition (a lot of dairy, free, cow, protein, free, and the addition of fermented products) to heal my wounded intestines, which also impacted my gum tissue. Turns out about 75% of Americans are lactose intolerant. After I cleaned my diet from offending foods it was a shock to me that there was lactose in all the medicines contracted by the government now. Your body is a delicate and fine tune machine. You can probably take a multivitamin with excellent results. Go to the doctor Medicare gives you a free wellness exam once a year and have a metabolic lab done. If there are any deficiencies, it’ll point them out and then you can supplement with confidence and ease. Please do your research. I see a lot of misinformation here and take everything with a grain of salt, even what I tell you. (Although I did have a couple years of university, nutritional chemistry clothes parentheses.) there’s a lot of really great choices out there without much thinking Greek style yogurt, sheep and goat products, fermented, cabbages, aged fermented, hard cheese, and a lot of colored fruits and vegetables. Good quality proteins, which are lean. You can’t go wrong! I myself opted for the horrible bone medicines. I’m halfway through. Another couple years to go and I’m done. Since I fall often because I am so clumsy I’m gonna protect my body as best I can with whatever I can. Good luck to everyone.
