Formulas comprising highly soluble elements and vitamins for the prevention and amelioration of osteoporosis

摘要

The present invention provides formulas of elemental compositions encompassing acetate salts of calcium, magnesium and zinc along with vitamin D3. The acetate salts could be extracted from natural sources such as pearls, coral, and oyster or compounded using synthetic materials. The dosage and ratio of calcium to magnesium was estimated using in vitro and in vivo estimations. The dosage for promoting bone health and alleviation of osteoporosis is about a quarter to a third of the conventional dose.

1. A composition consisting of about 4%-23% by weight of calcium in the form of calcium acetate, about 5.6% -9% by weight of magnesium in the form of magnesium acetate, about 0.2%-1.0% percent by weight of zinc in the form of zinc acetate, and 400 to 1200 IU of vitamin D3 per 220mg of calcium, wherein said composition comprises more bioavailable calcium per unit weight than calcium carbonate or calcium citrate, a weight ratio of calcium to magnesium of 0.5:1 to 2:1, and a weight ratio of zinc to calcium of 0.05:1 to 0.2:1.
