Anyone take Bone-Up calcium supplement?

Posted by debbik @debbik, Dec 2, 2024

I’m on a mission to change, adjust, add, anything to help my bone density improve. I’ve been taking Bone-Up for 5 years- since I’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis, but my density continues to get worse. This supplement has Vitamin C, D, K2, magnesium but the calcium is elemental and says microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. Wondering if anyone out there takes this, or knows anything about it? Maybe I should switch to normal calcium supplement like Caltrate, or something else????

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Yes, I’ve been taking BoneUp for over 20 years. A government study shows it improves bones significantly more than other types of calcium. I also take vitamin D, which is essential for calcium to be processed in the body. If your DEXA results indicate bone loss, my question would be: are you taking the 6 tablets necessary to get the 1000 mg of calcium? Two capsules should be taken 3 times a day. I’ve had osteoporosis since the late 90’s. This calcium works. Also, when I saw the most improvement was when I first started “Bone Builder” classes. These are very slow weight bearing classes created by Tufts University - you can find some videos on YouTube.
The bottle is misleading because it mentions 2 capsules per serving (above the nutrition box), but elsewhere it does say “Adults take 2 capsules 3 times a day (for a total of 6) with meals to facilitate maximum absorption.”
Hope this is the issue you have and taking the required amount will improve your bone density.

Greetings,
Thank you for sharing your experience with BoneUp. I have osteoporosis and will try it. Is it available for purchase on Amazon?
Question - has anyone tried Calciven? It has good reviews but I’ve not read any feedback from anyone that has used it.
Thank you!
