Calcium is by far one of the most important bone health supplements, however, Vitamin D plays an important role in the body’s absorption of calcium. Our bones consist of approximately 35 to 40 per cent calcium. Phosphorus especially, Boron, Magnesium, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K and Zinc are also believed to be effective to help our bones as well.
