Biogrow HPF-5 PLUS provides more than just protein for stronger bones, muscles and body strength.
THE musculoskeletal system includes all bones, joints and muscles in the body, providing form, support and movement to the body. In addition to supporting body weight, bones work together with muscles to support body movement and maintain body position. However, as people age, the body composition changes with a decrease in bone and muscle mass. This results in a higher risk of mobility limitations, falling and sustaining fractures. Therefore, keeping the bones and muscles strong from an early age is crucial to protect an individual’s mobility and independence.
Protein is an essential nutrient which helps to preserve bone and muscle strength by stimulating muscle protein synthesis and calcium metabolism.(1,2) Apart from protein, calcium also serves a vital role in maintaining bone structure, providing integrity and density to the skeleton.
Along with other nutrients such as magnesium, vitamins D3 and K2 can significantly improve bone health. Magnesium and vitamin D3 facilitate the absorption and utilisation of calcium, while vitamin K2 helps improve bone density by effectively depositing calcium to bones and teeth for proper storage and preventing the accumulation of calcium in arteries. (3,4) Hence, they work in synergy for effective calcium utilisation and metabolism. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin K2 (Menaquinone, MK-7) is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin K that helps maintain healthy bones.(5)
