3 Per Day BoneUp from Jarrow Formulas is a superior calcium formula with microcrystalline hydroxyapatite and natural MK-7 to support bone density. Bone Up provides type I collagen, osteocalcin and specialized bone-stimulating growth factors, which includes the superior combination of the inorganic calcium lattice of microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA) within an organic protein milieu. This formula also features StimuCal(TM) which also provides bone proteins, including type I.

Iron carries blood and it plays a key role in the production of red blood cells. Swanson provides Albion Ferrochel Iron for high bioavailability. Albion's mineral amino acid chelates are state-of-the-art dietary supplements designed to achieve the highest possible absorption potential. 

What Makes Chelated Mineral Glycinates So Superior?

First we need to understand the chelation process. Chelation is the result of minerals becoming chemically bound to amino acids in a very specific manner. Chelation occurs during the digestive process to facilitate transport of minerals across the intestinal wall so that they may be utilized throughout the body. Amino acids are not the only "chelators" available, but they are ideal for minerals. The body is very efficient at absorbing individual amino acids, and Albion has identified the amino acid glycine as the preferred molecule for creating organic chelated minerals. Glycine is readily identified and absorbed across the intestinal wall, and Albion's glycinate chelates are actually small enough to transport right into the cells themselves!

A comprehensive mineral supplement can fill gaps in less-than-perfect diets and deliver benefits such as increased energy, strong teeth and bones, support for multiple bodily systems and overall wellness. Swanson Albion Multi-Mineral with Iron delivers an array of important minerals such as iron, calcium and magnesium. This unique supplement features a combination of minerals chelated by the exclusive, patented Albion process to achieve the highest possible absorption potential. 

What Makes Swanson Ultra® Albion® Chelated Multi-Mineral Glycinate Unique?

Swanson Albion® Chelated Multi-Mineral with Iron goes beyond basic mineral supplementation by pairing Albion chelated minerals with a blend of supportive whole-food and specialty ingredients. In addition to essential major and trace minerals, our formula includes horsetail extract, a natural source of silica that complements bone and connective tissue nutrition; chlorella, a nutrient-dense green superfood that provides naturally occurring phytonutrients and trace nutrients; and a blend of digestive enzymes, including bromelain and papain, to support digestion and nutrient utilization. Together, these ingredients create a more comprehensive nutritional formula designed to support whole-body wellness.

By popular request, we’ve removed the iron from our bestselling Swanson Albion® Multi-Mineral so everyone can take advantage of what some have called the best supplemental minerals on earth! Albion chelated mineral glycinates perform better than common, non-chelated minerals because they bind minerals to glycine, an amino acid that is readily identified and absorbed through the intestinal walls. Albion pioneered the process of chelation and holds worldwide patents for their breakthrough technologies.

Nature's Way Calcium & D3 Gummies support healthy bones and immune health. They provide 520 mg of calcium and 50 mcg of vitamin D3 per 2-gummy serving. Adequate calcium and vitamin D3 throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Great-tasting gummies are made with pectin, not gelatin.

Blackstrap molasses has been valued for generations as a naturally nutrient-rich food. Produced during the final stage of sugar cane processing, it contains concentrated levels of naturally occurring iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other essential minerals.

Iron helps transport oxygen throughout the body as part of healthy red blood cells. Adequate iron intake supports energy metabolism, cognitive function, immune health, and normal oxygen delivery to tissues. The other naturally occurring minerals in blackstrap molasses—calcium, magnesium, and potassium—support many vital functions including bone health, muscle performance, and overall wellness.

Easy-to-swallow Swanson Blackstrap Molasses capsules make it simple to enjoy the traditional nutritional benefits of blackstrap molasses—without the strong taste or sticky syrup.

Strong, healthy bones rely on a wealth of nutrients to maintain integrity, like highly absorbable calcium citrate, vitamin D, magnesium and more. Swanson Condition Specific Bone Essentials combines these strength-building minerals with patented, standardized SoyLife® extract, boron, silica, and amino acids.

Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA) is a compound that normally makes up the crystalline matrix of bone and teeth and is the substance that gives them their rigidity. Contains highly absorbable calcium and phosphorus, which are major mineral components of bone. This formula also provides magnesium and other important minerals along with vitamins C and D to aid in the synthesis and maintenance of bone tissue. NOW MCHA is derived exclusively from Australian cattle.

Help build strong bones with the help of Nature Made Calcium. Each serving delivers 600 mg of calcium along with 400 IU of vitamin D3 for added support. Vitamin D is necessary for proper utilization of calcium and may also promote healthy mood and immune system function.

Swanson Premium Brand Calcium Citrate Complex is an excellent and economical option for everyday bone maintenance. It combines two high-quality forms of calcium—calcium citrate and calcium carbonate—with a generous supply of vitamin D to ensure absorption.

Calcium Aspartate from Advanced Research (formulated specifically by Hans Nieper, M.D. of Hannover, Germany) offers optimum bioavailability for your calcium supplementation needs. The aspartate acts as a mineral transporter, supporting the absorption potential to make the most of the elemental calcium provided.

Though the body requires a certain amount of daily calcium to function normally, with so many different types of calcium, it can be difficult to decide which form is the right one to take. Calcium aspartate, the result of binding L-aspartic acid with calcium, creates a stable bond that transforms the calcium into a form the body can easily recognize and use. The result is an unprecedented absorption rate. Make the most of the calcium you take with Swanson Premium Calcium Aspartate.
