BoneMate™
Plus grows
and strengthens bones to prevent osteoporosis*
 Bone
is not a hard and lifeless structure–rather, it is a complex, living
tissue that completely regenerates about every eight years. Certain cells
repair bone and draw calcium from the blood for deposit into bone tissue,
while other cells break down old bone tissue. Because bones are constantly
changing, they can heal and are profoundly affected by diet and exercise.
Unicity Network™ is pleased to provide a nutritional supplement that
supports bone health to reverse bone loss and prevent osteoporosis. We’ve named it BoneMate™ because it works in
partnership with the Enrich Core Packs™ to maximize health.* Use bone
density testing with BoneMate to monitor the halt in bone density loss and
new gains made in bone density.
BoneMate™
- HEALTHY BONES PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS PRODUCT
PROFILE
| What’s inside:
BoneMate™ contains three main ingredients to support the health
of bone tissue and teeth*:
• Ostivone® has been clinically shown to support bone mineral
density, assist the body in slowing bone loss, and support the
benefits of taking calcium.* This nutrient is scientifically known
as ipriflavone, part of the bioflavonoid family of compounds
commonly found in plants.
• Calcium citrate malate, or CCM, is a patented form of calcium
that has been studied in postmenopausal women. Women who consumed
CCM experienced less bone loss than those who took an alternative
calcium supplement or did not supplement with calcium.*
• Magnesium is a key mineral for maintaining bone tissue. The
body makes use of magnesium in its metabolism of calcium.

What it will do for
you:
This new bone supplement is important to overall health,
particularly looking ahead to the retirement years, when
bone-related problems become a big concern.* During our youth, bones
grow in length and density. During the teen years, maximum height is
reached, but bones continue to grow more dense until about age 30,
when peak bone density is attained. As adulthood continues, our
bones slowly start to lose density and strength, and we become
targets for diseases such as osteoporosis late in life, in which
bones become fragile and more likely to break. It’s never too late
to start strengthening our bones for the future.*
While women are four times more likely than men to develop
osteoporosis, bone health is important for men too. According
to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, two million American
men have osteoporosis, and another
|
three million are at risk. Each year men
suffer one-third of all hip fractures that occur, and
one-third of these men will not survive more than a year. In
addition to hip fractures, older men also experience painful
and debilitating fractures of the spine, wrist, and other bones due
to osteoporosis.*
Most of us are aware of the need to plan for retirement. Wisdom
dictates that we set aside a little with each paycheck so we will
have funds to draw on after we stop working. The same concept
applies when looking ahead to our health in retirement years.
In fact, we can think of our bones as a savings account. Our
accounts contain only as much bone mass as we deposit. The critical
years for building bone mass are from prior to adolescence to about
age 30–but no matter where we are in life, taking steps now to
increase bone health will allow us to stand taller and firmer in our
senior years.

BoneMate™:
The Importance of Calcium for Healthy Bones and prevention of
osteoporosis
The bones of the skeletal system obtain their strength from the
deposition of calcium salt hydroxyapatite. Because of this, calcium
is the most abundant mineral in the human body. In fact, nearly 99
percent of the body's calcium is deposited in the bones. This
calcium reservoir also plays an important role in the maintenance of
proper calcium levels in the blood and body fluids, which is
important in proper functioning of many other physiological
processes, such as blood clotting, nerve function, muscle
contraction and relaxation, regulation of enzyme activity, and nerve
function.*
Calcium is constantly being deposited in and removed from bones.
In order to maintain proper bone strength and structure, it is vital
to keep deposition and removal of calcium in balance. This is
achieved through a number of physiological mechanisms, which rely on
the presence of various hormones to control calcium levels. Calcium
cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained through the
diet. Significant amounts of calcium need to be consumed daily to
replace that lost from the bones.*
As a person ages, bone resorption (loss of calcium from bones)
tends to accelerate to make up for decreased calcium intakes.
Osteoporosis, or brittle-bone disease, is caused by inadequate
dietary intake and absorption of calcium, which results in increased
bone resorption. In order to ensure an adequate supply of calcium,
individuals can increase their consumption of calcium through diet
or supplementation. Calcium absorption is enhanced by the presence
of vitamin D, which increases the transport of calcium from the
gastrointestinal tract into the blood. In addition, the
mineral magnesium aids in the absorption of calcium. However,
since magnesium and calcium compete with each other for intestinal
absorption, an excess intake of one over the other may actually
impair calcium absorption.*
