The formula for Bone Vitality is the brain child of a Board Certified Family Physician who has been practicing for over 20 years. After years of seeing patients who weren't concerned about bone health until problems arose, Dr. Kirk Lane decided to start researching practical ways to achieve optimal bone health in every stage of life. His research revealed that weight bearing exercise, proper nutrition, and supplementation with key nutrients are essential for healthy bones. These key nutrients include boron, vitamin K2, magnesium and vitamin D3. In addition to recommending exercise and a healthy diet, Dr. Lane encouraged supplementation with these four vitamins and minerals to his patients, family and friends. His research also revealed that calcium supplements can be potentially harmful to cardiac health (increasing the risk for heart attacks and strokes), so he discouraged calcium supplementation and stressed the importance of a calcium rich diet. When his wife, Michelle, got tired of purchasing four separate bottles and ingesting handfuls of pills every day, she tried to find a single supplement online that contained the four key vitamins and minerals (without added calcium). This search turned out to be fruitless, so she decided to contact a FDA approved manufacturer in the United States and have it produced - thus the birth of OstoVitalis and Bone Vitality.
