Description
Our bones are living structures that continuously renew themselves. For this process to function smoothly, the body needs a targeted combination of essential nutrients. Pro Osteo combines olive leaf extract, milk protein hydrolysate (OSTEUM™), vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 – an optimal combination for bone stability.
Factors like hormonal changes, oxidative stress, and insufficient nutrient intake can disrupt bone metabolism. Especially during menopause or with increasing age, bone density can decrease rapidly, affecting skeletal stability. Long-term bone loss is associated with an increased risk of diseases such as osteoporosis.
Pro Osteo contains olive leaf extract with 20% oleuropein, a plant compound with antioxidant properties. Scientific studies show that olive leaf extract may stimulate the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) while counteracting processes driven by bone-resorbing cells (osteoclasts).
A placebo-controlled human study also suggests that olive leaf extract is associated with the regulation of osteocalcin levels – a protein that indicates increased osteoblast activity and plays a key role in bone mineralization. Possible effects on fat metabolism have also been observed, which may be of particular interest to women during and after menopause.
Calcium is a fundamental building block of our bones – but not all dietary calcium can be efficiently utilized by the body. This is where OSTEUM™ comes in – a patented branded ingredient containing over 35% casein phosphopeptides (CPP).
CPPs are natural peptides derived from milk protein that bind calcium and make it more bioavailable. Scientific research suggests that CPPs can enhance calcium absorption and may be linked to improved bone mineralization. This is especially important during periods of increased bone turnover – such as menopause or aging.
In addition to OSTEUM™, the vitamins D3 and K2 also play a vital role in calcium utilization. Vitamin D supports normal absorption and use of calcium, and together with vitamin K, helps maintain healthy bones. Vitamin K is also involved in regulating calcium metabolism.
