Life Extension Dr. Strum's Intensive Bone Formula, 300 Capsules
UPC: 737870150602
Life Extension's Dr. Strum's Intensive Bone Formula is a comprehensive bone health supplement developed in collaboration with oncologist Stephen B. Strum, M.D., designed to provide nutritional support for maintaining bone strength and density. It combines nine key ingredients, including a notable 600 mg of winged treebine (Cissus quadrangularis) extract, an Ayurvedic herb referenced in multiple scientific studies for its bone-supportive properties, along with vitamins D3 and K2, calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals like boron and silicon.
This formula distinguishes itself through its inclusion of Cissus quadrangularis, which the manufacturer notes is rarely used in supplements despite research on its potential benefits for bone generation. The potassium citrate is included at a dose intended to support bone mineral density through a calcium-sparing mechanism, as cited in clinical references. Life Extension emphasizes a science-backed approach, with over 40 years of experience in formulating supplements based on research.
Available in a 300-capsule bottle providing a 30-day supply at 10 capsules per serving, it is certified Non-GMO and Gluten-Free. The manufacturer advises consulting a healthcare provider before use, especially for individuals on certain medications or with specific health conditions.
