Product Review

Our ingredients have been shown in numerous studies to significantly increase bone mineralisation & alkaline phosphatase aiding in osteogenisis (bone formation), prevent increases in parathyroid hormone (a marker of bone loss), prevent losses in type-1 collagen and osteocalcin in post-menopausal women, provide relief from knee osteoarthritis allowing NSAID withdrawal (more than glucosamine), or demonstrate inflammatory regulation of NF -kB. Imagine what they can do in the same synergistic formula! Placebo controlled studies show that AquaminTM significantly reduce PTH compared to calcium carbonate, with lower levels of PTH preventing bone calcium leaching. Vitamin K2 is crucial for bone building & strength, & may reduce blood vessel calcification & subsequent atherosclerosis. AquaminTM is an organically certified, all-natural and highly mineralised seaweed (red algae), sourced from the pristine Atlantic waters off Iceland. Its naturally rich in calcium, magnesium and 74 OTHER TRACE MINERALS. When the red algae ultimately dies-off and breaks down, it settles naturally on the seabed floor where the calcified remains are harvested, washed, dried and milled. Dietary K2 is deficient in Western diets, with Japanese peoples having the highest intake through Natto consumption, and some of the lowest incidences of coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis. Unlike other forms of K which have serum half-lives of 1.5 hours, Mk-4 has a serum half-life of 72 hours, providing the best absorption and bio-availability.
