Glucosamine & Chondroitin provides significant benefit for joint and cartilage support as indicated in clinical research.*

Supplementing with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates can provide significant benefit for musculoskeletal support.* Chondroitin sulfates, a category of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), are required for the formation of various important components of joint cartilage.* These two nutrients – glucosamine and chondroitin – support joint function and mobility by enhancing the body's production of GAGs and preventing their degradation.* Clinical research indicates that supplementing with chondroitin sulfates supports joint structures.* Some studies have concluded that the combination of glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate protects and supports joint surfaces more effectively than glucosamine sulfate alone.*

Magnesium and calcium work synergistically in the body’s muscle cells – magnesium causes muscle fibers to relax, while calcium causes them to contract – helping to prevent muscle cramping and supporting healthy heart rate and rhythm (the heart is a muscle too!).* 

The ratio of calcium-to-magnesium in Thorne's Cal-Mag Citrate + Vitamin C is ideal for individuals who want a higher amount of calcium but, due to magnesium's potential laxative effect, can’t tolerate an equal amount of magnesium.* Because of the highly absorbable forms of these two minerals, you get higher amounts of essential minerals and minimize capsule fatigue. 

Why is calcium important?

•  Studies on calcium and bone mass show that daily supplementation of a well-absorbed form of calcium promotes bone mass in adolescents, young adults, older men, and postmenopausal women.* 

Why is magnesium important?

•  Magnesium is crucial for the body to function properly because magnesium is involved in more than 600 of the body's enzymatic reactions.
• Magnesium is essential for the health of the heart and blood vessels, brain, bones, muscles, and lungs. It also supports healthy blood sugar levels.*
• It enhances the relaxation of smooth and skeletal muscles.*
• Magnesium is a cofactor, along with multiple enzymes, in cellular energy production.* 

Why add vitamin C?

• Vitamin C promotes optimal immune function.*
• Vitamin C supports healthy collagen formation, which benefits wound healing and injury repair.*

Thorne’s Vitamin D + K2 Liquid promotes bone health, healthy immune function, and cardiovascular health.* The combination of vitamin D3 and K2 provides greater benefits together than either does individually.

Vitamin D3 and K2 work together to benefit bone health, cardiovascular support, and healthy immune function.* Maintaining an optimal level of vitamin D throughout all stages of life helps maintain strong bones and healthy immune function.* Adding vitamin K2 helps move calcium to the bones to protect soft tissues, such as the arteries and kidneys, from calcification.* Combining vitamins D3 and K2 provides greater benefit together than each offers separately.

 Benefits of Thorne’s Vitamin D + K2: 

• Supports a healthy heart and blood circulation*
• Promotes bone health and calcium absorption*
• Benefits immune function*
• The combination provides advanced bone health support*

 Features of Vitamin D + K2: 

• The vitamin K2 in this formula is MK-4, the most clinically studied form of vitamin K
• Vitamin D, in its D3 form, is a more potent and better absorbed form than its D2 form
• The self-dispensing top provides an accurate, safe, and individualized dose by metering individual drops
• Thorne's Vitamin D + K2 Liquid is in medium chain triglyceride oil and preserved with mixed tocopherols
