2. Why is bone health important?
A: Healthy bones manufacture
red blood cells, immune cells, secrete hormones and
much more. Bone loss is associated with increased
inflammation, which then accelerates more bone loss and becomes a vicious cycle. There is an Osteo-
Immune relationship, as well as a link between bone loss and obesity. Because bone loss is often the
first sign of degenerating bone health (often in the form of a fracture due to weak bone) we consider good
bone health to be one of the most overlooked components of extraordinary health - everyone needs to think
about their bone health.
3. What can I do to improve my bone health?
A: It is never too late, or too early to improve bone health. Building strong bones when you are young is the
best defense against getting losing bone density later on in life. The best way to do this is to get adequate
amounts of calcium and vitamins D3 in your diet. We recommend getting as much calcium from foods as
possible, and taking a whole food calcium supplement with the proper bone-building ingredients included.
Regular exercise is also crucial to bone health.
4. Why should I question if my calcium supplement is effective?
A: Calcium supplements taken in the absence of other vitamins and minerals and without proper diet and
exercise, have not been proven in clinical studies to help strengthen bones. The best that can be said is
that calcium supplementation helps slow down or stop bone loss. While slowing bone loss is good,
increasing bone mineral density should be the goal. The majority of calcium supplements are made from
ground-up rock and most of them are in tablet form and have solubility problems. The USA is the country
that purchases the most calcium supplements, but it is also one of the countries with higher incidence of bone loss.
5. What is VITAMIN CODE Grow Bone System?
A: Garden of Life is proud to introduce the VITAMIN CODE Grow Bone System, a combination of Vitamin
Code RAW Calcium and Growth Factor S, two comprehensive bone-building formulas clinically studied to
Stimulate Bone Growth, Increase Bone Strength, and Increase Bone Mineral
Density. The Grow Bone System contains the first raw, vegan, organic whole food plant source of Calcium
with naturally occurring bone-building Code-Factors, such as vitamin D3, vitamin K2, magnesium, boron,
strontium, silica and vanadium.**
6. Why did Garden of Life formulate the Grow Bone System?
A: The U.S. Surgeon General issued a report on Bone Health in 2004, in which Dr. Carmona warned that by
the year 2020, half of all American citizens older than 50 will be at risk for fractures from osteoporosis and
low bone mass if no immediate action is taken. Garden of Life designed the Grow Bone System as a
response to the U.S. Surgeon Generals "call to action" to the nutritional and health care industry for the
development of bone-health programs that incorporate the three basic components of an effective program:
- Improved Nutrition
- Increased Physical Activity
- Improved Health Literacy
7. What does the VITAMIN CODE Grow Bone System include?
A: The Grow Bone System is a kit composed of a bottle of RAW Calcium 150ct, a bottle of Growth Factor
S (strontium) 90ct, in addition to the Grow Bone Booklet describing the Bone Health Program.
8. What is the Grow Bone System Health Program?
A: We recommend that you use the Grow Bone System as part of a holistic bone health program as follows:
- 1. Eat a healthy diet including good sources of calcium, vitamins D and K, and other minerals.
- 2. Use the Grow Bone System consistently for 6 consecutive months according to suggested use.
- 3. Exercise regularly with your doctors approval.
9. What mykind of Exercise is recommended in the Grow Bone System Health Program?
A: Regardless of age, exercise and physical activity are an important part of building and maintaining
strong, healthy bones. A good all-around program that incorporates weight-bearing, strength and balance
training exercises is most desirable. Weight-bearing and strength exercises are very useful for increasing or
maintaining bone mass, while balance training may help with coordination and maintaining muscle mass
which can help prevent falls and resulting bone fractures. Always check with your doctor before starting any
new exercise regime.
11. What is VITAMIN CODE RAW Calcium?
