OSTEMATRIX: A Unique Matrix of Bone-building Nutrients

Osteoporosis remains a major health issue for more than 44 million Americans. Despite the fact that Americans consume more dairy products and calcium than any other population in the world, we still have one of the highest rates of this debilitating disease. One in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in his or her lifetime. And while osteoporosis is often thought of as a disease that affects the elderly, it can strike at any age. Calcium doesn’t work alone to build and maintain strong bones.Think of calcium as the bricks in the bone-building process. Bricklayers know that a house is only as strong as the mortar that holds it together. And the nutritional mortar for building and maintaining strong bones includes vitamins D and K, magnesium, boron, zinc, copper and manganese.

MAY REDUCE THE RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS**

OsteoMatrix is more than just calcium. It contains a nutritional matrix with a perfect blend of “brick-and-mortar” nutrients to build a strong and healthy bone matrix:

• 1,000 mg (100% DV) of elemental calcium from nature’s most concentrated and easily

absorbed sources

• 400 mg (100% DV) of magnesium to help incorporate calcium into bone and help

strengthen bones

• 400 IU (100% DV) of vitamin D to stimulate calcium absorption

• Boron in a clinically supported amount to aid bone metabolism

• Vitamin K to help bind minerals to form bone matrix3

• Manganese, copper, and zinc — co-factors that activate enzymes that help build bone mass

OsteoMatrix also helps retain normal blood pressure2 and reduce symptoms of PMS.

THE SHAKLEE DIFFERENCE

• More bone-building nutrients than leading brands: 100% of calcium and

magnesium, and vitamin D with additional critical nutrients for building bones†

• Clinically proven absorption and bioavailability

• Easy-to-swallow small, coated caplets. A daily serving is only four caplets.

WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM OSTEMATRIX

• Anyone concerned about building strong bones1,6 and maintaining long-term bone health4

• Anyone whose diet may be low in key bone-building nutrients, particularly women age 30 and

older, teenagers, and the elderly

• Those who smoke, have high intakes of alcohol, or frequently drink soft drinks —lifestyle habits

that can limit or interfere with the utilization of calcium

• Women who experience PMS symptoms

• Those concerned about retaining normal blood pressure

• Anyone who finds calcium supplements too chalky, too big, or hard to swallow

** Regular exercise and a healthy diet with supplemental calcium may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, especially in the elderly. Adequate calcium intake is important, but daily intake above 2,000 mg is not likely to provide any additional benefits.
