Bone Health Support With Iprilflavone Soy And Calcium
Martin Avenue Pharmacy
Overview
The supplement provides a good foundation of essential bone-supporting nutrients (Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K) at reasonably effective doses for general maintenance. However, the doses of Ipriflavone and some trace minerals are at the lower end of clinically studied ranges or lack strong evidence for their specific dosages in this context, which may limit their overall clinical impact on significant bone density improvement.
The Good
Comprehensive mineral foundation for bone health including Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D, and Vitamin K.
Includes Ipriflavone, a compound specifically studied for its bone-resorption inhibiting properties.
Soy isoflavones offer additional phytoestrogenic support for bone, often relevant for postmenopausal women.
The Bad
The dose of Vitamin D (100 IU per tablet, 200 IU daily) is significantly lower than current clinical recommendations for bone health (typically 600-800 IU minimum for adults).
Ipriflavone's dosage (200mg daily) is below the commonly studied effective range for significant osteoporosis treatment (often 600mg daily).
Long-term use of Ipriflavone may lead to lymphocytopenia and requires medical supervision.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking bone health support, post-menopausal women, those concerned about bone density.
