Youngevity Ultimate Osteo-Fx Líquido - Apoyo a la Salud Ósea (946 ml)

Why is calcium important for your bones?

Calcium is an essential mineral that contributes to the maintenance of bones under normal conditions. This is recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It also contributes to normal muscle function and the maintenance of teeth. However, many people in Spain do not reach the recommended daily intake, especially during menopause, in dairy-free diets, or during stages of increased physiological demand. Supplementing with quality calcium can help cover these needs comfortably and effectively.

What makes Ultimate Osteo-Fx Liquid special?

Youngevity's Ultimate Osteo-Fx is a liquid supplement that combines 1200 mg of calcium in the form of calcium citrate, one of the most bioavailable forms. Unlike calcium carbonate, citrate is well absorbed even on an empty stomach and in people with low stomach acidity. In addition, it includes vitamin D3 (25 mcg), which promotes calcium absorption, along with magnesium (200 mg), zinc (5 mg), and glucosamine (100 mg). These nutrients work synergistically to maintain bone structure and joint function.

Calcium citrate vs calcium carbonate: which to choose?

Calcium carbonate provides 40% elemental calcium, but it needs stomach acid to be absorbed. Calcium citrate, with 21% elemental calcium, is absorbed independently of gastric pH. This makes it the ideal option for older people, those taking proton pump inhibitors, or for those who prefer to take the supplement between meals. Ultimate Osteo-Fx uses calcium citrate, prioritizing absorption over concentration.

Recommended daily calcium intake

In Spain, the recommended calcium intake is 800 to 1000 mg per day for adults, increasing to 1200 mg in postmenopausal women and older people. The dose of Ultimate Osteo-Fx (1200 mg per serving) comfortably covers these needs. However, it is important not to exceed 2500 mg daily of total calcium (diet + supplements) to avoid possible adverse effects.

Synergistic combinations: vitamin D3, magnesium, zinc, and glucosamine

Vitamin D3 is key for calcium absorption; without it, much of the ingested calcium is not utilized. Magnesium contributes to bone formation and energy metabolism. Zinc participates in collagen synthesis and bone mineralization. Glucosamine, for its part, is an essential component of articular cartilage. This combination makes Ultimate Osteo-Fx a complete formula for musculoskeletal system care.

Possible side effects and precautions

Calcium can cause constipation in some people, especially at high doses. To minimize it, it is recommended to take the supplement with plenty of water and distribute it throughout the day. Calcium citrate is usually better tolerated than carbonate. People with hypercalcemia, kidney failure, or kidney stones should consult their doctor before use. In addition, calcium can interfere with the absorption of certain medications such as antibiotics or levothyroxine, so it is advisable to separate the intake by at least 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can Ultimate Osteo-Fx be taken during pregnancy?

How long does it take for the effect to be noticed?

Can it cause constipation?

Calcium citrate is usually better tolerated than carbonate. If constipation occurs, increasing water and fiber intake can help.

Is it suitable for vegans?
