What is It?
Bone Builder is a comprehensive bone support formula designed to provide ample calcium supplementation for people at risk for bone-weakening diseases, such as osteoporosis or osteomalacia. The formula include a full matrix of vitamins proven to prevent or reduce the risk for these diseases: vitamin C, D and K are considered its most potent ingredients. It also reportedly provides joint support by preventing the degradation of joint tissue, reducing joint pain and inflammation.

What ingredients are in Bone Builder?
Bone Builder contains vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, microcrystalline hydroxyapatite concentrate, D-glucosamine sulfate, ipriflavone and boron.

Do the ingredients in Bone Builder help promote bone health?
Bone Builder contains nearly the perfect matrix of ingredients shown to significantly reduce joint pain and bone degradation. According to the Osteoporosis and Related Bone Diseases National Resource Center, calcium and vitamin D aren't only shown to significantly reduce the risk for osteoporosis--it's recommended as an alternative treatment for this disease, saying “calcium and vitamin D are needed for strong bones."

Combined with D-glucosamine sulfate, this supplement is almost guaranteed to also reduce joint pain and stiffness, which can also be aggravated by poor, brittle bones. According to the medical website WebMD.com, D-glucosamine sulfate is likely effective for the treatment of numerous joint-related diseases, including osteoarthritis, or more specifically, osteoarthritis of the knee. It can also reduce the breakdown of joints, which can worsen joint function.

Is Bone Builder safe?
There have been few side effects associated with any of its key ingredients. D-glucosamine sulfate has been shown to cause some mild stomach upset, nausea and constipation.

Verdict:
Bone Builder is an extremely effective supplement that may reduce joint pain and stiffness caused by osteoporosis or arthritis.
