Two Supplements Are Better Than One
When taken together, NUTRILITE OSTEO KEEPER™ and NUTRILITE Cal Mag D, the two supplements in Ultimate Bone Health Solution, work to help maximize bone strength and integrity as you age, based on preliminary research studies. OSTEO KEEPER is a patent-pending supplement with all-natural key ingredients -- pomegranate and grape seed extracts -- that when taken together with NUTRILITE Cal Mag D may support the body's ability to maximize bone strength and integrity by keeping calcium where it belongs, in your bones. Cal Mag D provides calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D to encourage the maximum absorption potential in the body and may reduce the risk of osteoporosis when adequate calcium and vitamin D are part of a well-balanced diet throughout life*. In short, Cal Mag D builds bones while OSTEO KEEPER preserves and strengthens them.**
"As we age, it gets harder for our bodies to absorb calcium. And since your entire body needs calcium, if it doesn't find it in your bloodstream, it will steal it from your bones, which can lead to osteoporosis," says Keith Randolph, Ph.D., Technology Strategist for Nutrilite. "a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is important, and not just dairy -- leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli are also rich in these nutrients. Combine with exercise and supplementation, and it's possible to have strong, healthy bones for life."
One in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 will suffer a hip fracture caused by weak bones. For women over 45, osteoporosis accounts for more days spent in the hospital than diabetes, breast cancer, and many other diseases.****
How Does It Work?
Pomegranate and grape seed extracts, the natural key ingredients in NUTRILITE Ultimate Bone Health Solution, have been shown to be significantly effective in modulating effects of the IL-1 gene. The presence of the IL-1 gene in our bodies can induce the overproduction of an activator in our bodies that leads to the creation of osteoclasts, which increases bone resorption, breaking down bones in our bodies.
New App Assesses Osteoporosis Risk

The NUTRILITE Bone Health app is a one-stop bone health destination. It offers informative bone health stats from the International Osteoporosis Foundation and expert videos demonstrating the right exercise moves to help you build stronger bones. It also provides information on how proper nutrition plays a role, as well as a demonstration and scientific explanation of how OSTEO KEEPER supplement, together with Cal Mag D, works in your body.
