Increase bone density by up to 4.33%*†

Ultra Bone Formula I is an advanced, professional quality, plant-sourced calcium and bone support formula exclusively available through Gluten Free Society.* The highly specialized plant calcium in Ultra Bone Formula I is micronized to ensure optimal absorption by delivering the perfect particle size.* It is a certified organic whole food with over 70 naturally occurring trace minerals and phytonutrients. Since the calcium in this formula is an all-natural, GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) certified, plant-derived whole food, it does not have the potential negative effects on arterial calcification that non-food based calcium supplements have.*

Ultra Bone Formula II is an all-natural strontium citrate supplement that is clinically proven to increase bone mineral density when combined with the plant calcium, minerals and bone supporting nutrients found in Ultra Bone Formula I.* Strontium, a trace mineral found in seawater and soil, is a mineral with similar properties to calcium. Research has shown that strontium may play a role in the formation of osteoblasts, new bone-forming cells, while at the same time slowing the breakdown of old bone by inhibiting osteoclasts.*

Certified Organic

Plant-Sourced Calcium, Minerals and Phytonutrients

Vegan

Features a Truly Unique Form of Vegan D3

Comprehensive Bone Support*

Includes Magnesium, K2, Silica, Boron, Phosphorus and 5-MTHF

Why Ultra Bone Box?

A Truly Unique, Plant-Based Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 is essential for bone health and intestinal calcium absorption.* We have selected a proprietary, clinically effective plant-derived form of Vitamin D3.

Proven  to Enhance Calcium Absorption*
Vitamin K2 as MK7 is the natural form of Vitamin K that the body uses for bone and cardiovascular health. Ultra Bone Formula I includes the patented VitaMK7®, an all-trans natural menaquinone-7 with the highest bioavailability and longest half-life in the blood. Only VitaMK7® is shown in human clinical studies to increase osteocalcin (calcium-binding protein) levels, enhancing the body’s ability to utilize calcium in the bloodstream.* [9-10]

Enhanced Absorption Technologies*
Ultra Bone Formula I and Ultra Bone Formula II utilize a unique blend of AstraGin® and BioPerine® — the latest in enhanced absorption technology—for maximum effectiveness.* This proprietary technology is clinically proven to enhance absorption of amino acids, vitamins and glucose in intestinal cells.*

Patented Magnesium Chelate and Di-Magnesium Malate
Patented Albion magnesium is included for its superior absorption compared to other forms such as magnesium carbonate.* Due to low intestinal uptake, most forms of magnesium in dietary supplements are simply excreted as waste, never benefiting the body. Additionally, Albion’s dimagnesium malate is included for its malic acid content and favorable impact on the Kreb’s Cycle and its valuable role in the production of energy.*

Full Spectrum of Bone-Supporting Nutrients
The folate (5-MTHF) in this formula—Quatrefolic®—is the most biologically active form of folate, allowing rapid uptake into the bloodstream.* The active forms of the B-vitamins, folate and methylcobalamin, are added for their positive effect on bone mineral density.* Based on scientific research, a carefully selected array of bone-supporting nutrients is included in this formula. Research proves vitamin C, phosphorus, silica and boron benefit bone health.*

Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is a natural component of our brain’s chemistry and promotes production of acetylcholine, the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. The body makes ALC in small amounts, but as we age, levels decline. ALC is a form of L-carnitine, an amino acid derivative that helps the body produce energy. However, slightly altering the chemical structure of this nutrient (adding the “acetyl” group), helps it work differently in the body to support both brain health and energy production.*

Brain Health – Acetyl L-Carnitine is structurally similar to acetylcholine and may help facilitate its production and maintenance of optimal levels. Acetylcholine is involved in supporting memory, focus, and learning. It also serves to regulate activities of vital organs and blood vessels, as well as communication between nerves and muscles. ALC can help support the repair of cells in the brain and nervous system that have been damaged by stress and poor diet.*

Energy Production – L-Carnitine, (not the ALC form) is required to help escort fats into the part of the cell where they are burned and converted into energy (the mitochondria), thereby supporting energy production and weight management. Acetyl L-Carnitine works differently. Because the unique “acetyl” molecule allows this compound to work differently in the body, ALC may support energy production within brain cells, aiding in mental clarity, focus, and stamina.

Healthy Moods – The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is important for a healthy, balanced mood. Acetyl L-carnitine not only supports a healthy mood by encouraging normal acetylcholine levels, but also by supporting energy production and delivery to brain cells. Energized brain cells communicate better with each other and with the rest of the body, leading to a healthier mood.*

Some of the Key Features include:

  • Helps support the generation of cellular energy
  • Supports mental energy and focus
  • Helps balance mood
  • Helps protect the brain and nervous system
  • Helps support the health of brain cells affected by occasional stress
  • Encourages proper neurotransmitter production

Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one capsule per day, or as directed by your health care practitioner.

Muscle Ease – Support for Muscle Tone and Tension

Chronic pain is a very real and very common issue faced by millions. 

More often than not, many gravitate towards treating pain with steroids, NSAIDS, and powerful narcotics.

…but what about those who are looking for more natural alternatives? 

People are often told that muscle and joint pain are just a normal part of the aging process, or that it’s in their head. But what most doctors fail to acknowledge is the role your diet and lifestyle play in the development and progression of muscle and joint pain and related disorders. 

If you are experiencing any sort of pain or you’ve been diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder or autoimmune disease, I strongly urge you to get tested for gluten sensitivity – even if you don’t have abdominal symptoms. There is a good chance that a grain-free diet will significantly reduce or even completely eliminate your pain if you give it enough time. 

Muscle Ease is a synergistic blend of botanicals which are historically used for their ability to support a sense of tranquility and calmness. Together these ingredients can help induce muscle relaxation, giving your body the much needed push towards a grain-free, pain-free lifestyle.*

Some of its key ingredients include:

  • Kava Rhizome Extract – traditionally used for a number of health issues, including stress, irritability, and muscle spasms. 
  • Valerian Root and Passionflower – well-known for their calming properties, and can help reduce the sensation of muscle stress. 
  • Hops Strobile and Chamomile Flower Extract – known to bind to the GABA receptors, furthering the sense of relaxation.

Does Not Contain: Gluten, Yeast, Artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Suggested Use: Take 1 capsules per day, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

High Stress Use: Take 2 capsules per day, in divided doses, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
