EHL: The Essentials of Healthy LivingSM
Bones
Nutrient intake, hormonal factors, and physical activity all play important roles in regulating bone health. Women are at a greater risk for bone loss during their lifetime and should begin supporting their bones at a very early age. Nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D-3 are vital to maintaining and promoting healthy, strong bones. Regular exercises that use some weights also help tell your body to enhance bone structure, particularly the legs, hips, and spine.

Bone Building Formula
Bones require a wide variety of nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D, boron, and Vitamin K. These vitamins and minerals work together to help build and maintain strong bones. Pathway BONE GUARDIAN is a unique and comprehensive formula that features the most highly absorbed form of calcium (natural hydroxyapatite form) along with a wide range of supporting nutrients that have been shown, through extensive research, to work well with calcium in promoting bone health.

Ipriflavone
Ipriflavone, derived from isoflavone, helps to preserve the amount of calcium retained in bones and decrease bone-mineral loss. Pathway IPRIFLAVONE PLUS combines ipriflavone with magnesium and glycine to help stimulate bone and connective tissue formation.

Optional Products for Healthy Bones
High Potency Essential Fatty Acids
Diets with low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to increased resorption of bone tissue. Many researchers speculate that this is related to the connection omega-3's have to reducing inflammatory chemicals produced by the body. Omega-3 fatty acids in the diet help calm inflammation and have been linked to lower rates of osteoporosis. Taking a high quality omega-3 capsule such as Pathway SUPER OMEGA-3 can help to reduce chronic inflammation and support a healthy skeletal system. Pathway SUPER OMEGA-3 is molecularly distilled for purity and is guaranteed to be free of heavy metals, pesticide residues, and other harmful contaminants. For ideal effects, it contains high concentrations of EPA & DHA (300 mg & 200 mg respectively).

Vitamin D-3
Vitamin D-3 is essential to bone health as it stimulates the absorption and utilization of both calcium and phosphorus. Beyond its bone building benefits, Vitamin D-3 also helps protect against muscle weakness, various types of cancer, and enhances immunity. Vitamin D-3 is a natural form but is less commonly found in most vitamin formulas and is considered to be better than Vitamin D-2. Each softgel of Pathway VITAMIN D-3 supplies 1000 mg of bioactive Vitamin D-3.
