Metagenics Bone Builder® Chewable, 90 Tablets
UPC: 755571013149
Metagenics Bone Builder® Chewable is a dietary supplement formulated to support bone health, featuring a chewable chocolate-flavored tablet form. Its key ingredient is Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite Concentrate (MCHC), a source of naturally occurring calcium and phosphorus that includes bone growth factors, collagen, and bone proteins, which the manufacturer states is designed to enhance bone mineral density. The formula also provides vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, copper, and manganese in amounts that contribute to its intended use.
This product distinguishes itself by using MCHC, a whole-bone complex that supplies minerals in a ratio similar to human bone, rather than isolated calcium compounds. It is manufactured by Metagenics, a company that emphasizes precision-crafted formulas and holds certifications such as Non-GMO and Gluten-Free. The chewable format, with a serving size of three tablets, is intended for ease of use for children age 2 and up through adults, and it is available in a 90-tablet container providing a 30-day supply at the recommended dosage.
