Zanskar Advanced Bone Health Supplement

Zanskar Advanced Bone Health Supplement – Calcium, D3, K2, Veg Collagen, Magnesium and Zinc

The Zanskar Advanced Bone Health Supplement is a once-daily vegetarian tablet built around eleven bone nutrients: calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K2, vegetarian collagen, vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, boron, copper, manganese and selenium. The addition that distinguishes it from an ordinary calcium-and-D3 tablet is vitamin K2, and the reason is worth understanding. Vitamin D3 increases how much calcium you absorb from the gut – but absorption alone says nothing about where that calcium ends up. K2 activates osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein, the two proteins that bind calcium into the bone matrix and discourage it from depositing in arteries and soft tissue instead. D3 gets the calcium in; K2 helps direct it. The collagen and vitamin C address the other half of bone, which people forget is roughly a third protein by weight: the flexible collagen scaffold that mineral is laid down on, and vitamin C is required to build it. Copper and manganese are cofactors in that same scaffold. 100% vegetarian, with plant-based D3 and collagen.

Key Features

• Eleven bone nutrients in one daily tablet, including calcium, D3, K2, magnesium and zinc
• Vitamin K2 helps direct absorbed calcium into bone rather than soft tissue
• Veg collagen with vitamin C for the protein scaffold mineral is laid on
• With boron, copper, manganese and selenium – cofactors usually left out
• 100% vegetarian, plant-based D3 and collagen. One tablet a day

Composition

• Calcium and Vitamin D3 (plant based) – bone mineralisation
• Vitamin K2 – helps direct calcium into bone
• Vegetarian Collagen and Vitamin C – bone matrix and flexibility
• Magnesium, Zinc, Boron, Copper, Manganese, Selenium
• Vegetarian tablet. Refer to the pack for the full nutritional panel and quantities

Uses & Benefits

• Supports bone density and everyday structural strength
• K2 alongside D3 rather than D3 alone, so absorbed calcium is directed to bone
• Collagen and vitamin C support bone flexibility, not just hardness
• Supplies trace minerals often missing from an ordinary diet
• Suitable for age-related bone loss, post-pregnancy depletion and long-term low calcium intake, as advised
• One vegetarian tablet a day – no separate calcium, D3 and K2 bottles

Directions for Use

• Take one tablet a day, as printed on the pack
• Take it with or just after a meal – calcium absorbs better with food, and K2 and D3 are fat-soluble so they need some dietary fat
• Take it at the same time each day
• Leave a gap of two hours between this and iron tablets, thyroid tablets, or tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics
• Bone changes are slow – give it months, not weeks, and keep up weight-bearing exercise

Precautions

• Dietary supplement, not a medicine. It does not treat osteoporosis – diagnosed osteoporosis needs prescribed treatment and a doctor’s review
• Vitamin K2 interacts with warfarin and other vitamin-K-dependent blood thinners. Do not take it if you are on warfarin without your doctor’s approval
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney stones, kidney disease, high blood calcium or parathyroid disease before taking calcium supplements
• Do not take it alongside another calcium or vitamin D supplement without checking the combined daily total
• Constipation, bloating and wind are the usual effects. Report persistent nausea, unusual thirst, confusion or bone pain
• Not for children. Ask your doctor before use in pregnancy or while breastfeeding

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight
• Keep the tablets in the blister until use
• Keep out of reach of children
