Why Take This Product

  • Superior Bioavailability: Research conducted by Massey University confirms that our fish bone calcium powder is one of the most bioavailable forms of calcium, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilise. It has been shown to effectively support and maintain bone mineral density.
  • Additional Health Benefits for Post-Menopausal Females: The research also identified bioactive properties, likely derived from the natural collagen and proteins in the fish bone powder, that contributed to increased lean muscle mass and reduced fat gain in post-menopausal females.
  • Supports Bone Strength and Overall Health: Calcium is not only essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth, but it also supports muscle function, nerve signalling, and heart health. Calcium deficiency is common and can lead to issues such as low bone mass and osteoporosis. Our fish bone powder provides a natural, effective way to boost your calcium intake and support your overall well-being.
  • Optimally Balanced for Absorption: Our fish bone calcium powder contains calcium and phosphorus in an ideal 2:1 ratio to form hydroxyapatite – a structure that closely resembles the mineral makeup of human bones. This natural compatibility enhances the body’s ability to absorb and integrate the calcium, providing strong support for bone health and density.
  • Rich in Essential Minerals: Our unique processing method preserves the high levels of calcium (25%), phosphorus (12%), and marine collagen (14%), along with other vital minerals like iron, magnesium, selenium, and zinc.
  • The Power of Marine Collagen: Our fish bone calcium powder is naturally rich in Type I marine collagen, a key protein that supports the strength and flexibility of bones, joints, skin, and connective tissues. Unlike other sources of collagen, marine collagen is known for its high absorption rate, making it more effective at delivering benefits throughout the body.
  • From Byproduct to Benefit: We source our fish bone powder from wild fish that are caught according to New Zealand’s Quota Management System, a program designed to ensure the sustainability of fish stocks. By utilising fish bones that would otherwise be discarded during processing, we transform a byproduct into a valuable, health-boosting supplement, reducing waste and maximising resource efficiency.
  • Natural and Chemical-Free Processing: Unlike some supplements that are heavily processed or synthetically manufactured, our fish bone powder is minimally processed to preserve its natural nutritional integrity. This ensures that you receive a product that is as close to nature as possible, without unnecessary additives.

Key Components

    CALCIUM:

  • An Essential Building Block: Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, it acts as a critical building block, providing structural support and strength to the skeletal system. Beyond its role in bone health, calcium is also necessary for muscle contractions, nerve function, and blood clotting. Without adequate calcium, the body cannot maintain these vital processes, and deficiencies can lead to issues like weakened bones and osteoporosis.
  • Bone Health Across All Ages: While calcium is often associated with older adults, it is equally crucial during adolescence and early adulthood to build bone mass and maintain strong bones and teeth.
  • Supports Dental Health: Adequate calcium intake is essential not just for bones but also for maintaining strong teeth and preventing cavities.
  • CALCIUM HYDROXYAPATITE:

  • Mimics Natural Bone Composition: Hydroxyapatite derived from fish bones is similar to the mineral component of human bones, making it an ideal and highly compatible source of calcium for the body. This compatibility leads to better absorption compared to other forms of calcium.
  • Gentler on the Stomach: Some people find that traditional calcium supplements (e.g., calcium carbonate) can cause digestive discomfort. Hydroxyapatite tends to be easier on the stomach, making it suitable for those with sensitive digestion.
  • PHOSPHORUS:

  • Abundant and Essential: Phosphorus is the second most plentiful mineral in the human body, after calcium. It is a vital component of every cell, playing a key role in the formation of bones and teeth, as well as in energy production, muscle function, and cell repair.
  • Enhances Calcium Absorption: Phosphorus works closely with calcium, improving the body’s ability to absorb and use it effectively, helping to ensure that the skeletal system remains strong and resilient.
  • COLLAGEN:

  • Marine Type I Collagen: Hydrolysed Marine Type I collagen is broken down into smaller, more easily absorbed peptides. This form of collagen is more bioavailable than other types, meaning it can be absorbed faster and more efficiently by the body. Its high absorption rate ensures that your body can effectively utilise it to maintain strong, flexible, and resilient tissues.
  • Enhances the Structure of Bones: collagen enhances the structure of bones by working alongside calcium and phosphorus, contributing to a stronger, more resilient skeletal system.
  • Promotes Joint Flexibility and Mobility: In addition to skin and bone health, collagen supports joint health by maintaining the integrity of cartilage, which is the tissue that cushions joints.
  • Improves Skin Elasticity: Regular collagen intake can help maintain skin elasticity and hydration, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and promote a more youthful look. Marine Type I collagen is generally considered to be the best type of collagen for skin.
