Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin and is the majorantioxidant that protects lipids in the body, including cell membranes and cholesterol, from oxidation. Exercise, pollution or a high intake of dietary fats increases the requirement for Vitamin E.*
Regular, weight-bearing exercise and a healthy diet with adequate calcium, including from BONE-UP? helps teen and young adult women build bone mass and maintain bone health and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily calcium intake above 2,000 mg is not likely to provide additional benefit. Adequate calcium intake is also linked to reduced osteoporosis by slowing bone loss in older men and women. (HEALTH CLAIM)Also, BONE-UP? is formulated with MK-7 (an advanced form of Vitamin K2), Methylcobalamin (Methyl B12), and Glucosamine.

For athletes, maximal results will be obtained by supplementing (2 grams/2,000 mg) of glutamine after exercising. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in many metabolic processes. Skeletal muscles are the primary sites of glutamine concentration. There is an increased demand for glutamine during stress associated with exercise, illness or trauma. Glutamine supplementation supports protein synthesis as well as the rate of glycogen production (by serving as a carbon donor). Glutamine also serves as a fuel source for intestinal mucosal cells and nucleotide synthesis by lymphocytes.

There is an increased demand for glutamine during stress associated with exercise, illness or trauma. Glutamine also serves as a fuel source for intestinal mucosal cells and nucleotide synthesis by lymphocytes. Glutamine actually increases the glycogen synthesized in the liver and muscle, leading to larger, fuller muscles. Athletes can look forward to enhanced rates of muscle growth and surprisingly quick recuperation following intensive workouts.
