Ingredients explained
Calcium (as DiCalcium Malate)
Calcium provides a building block for hydroxyapatite in bones and is involved in bone remodelling signalling.
Caution: Take with food if you experience stomach upset, and avoid combining high-dose calcium with iron at the same time as it may reduce iron absorption.
Magnesium (as DiMagnesium Malate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone formation and helps regulate parathyroid hormone and vitamin D activity.
Caution: May loosen stools in some people; spreading intake through the day can improve tolerance.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 supports intestinal calcium absorption and helps maintain calcium balance for bone mineralisation.
Caution: Consider total vitamin D intake from all sources to avoid excessive amounts, especially if you already use separate vitamin D supplements.
Boron (as boron glycinate complex)
Boron is associated with vitamin D and oestrogen metabolism, which may influence calcium utilisation and bone turnover.
Caution: Avoid high cumulative boron intake from multiple products; excessive amounts may cause digestive discomfort.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal-5-phosphate)
Active vitamin B6 participates in amino acid metabolism and may influence collagen-related processes relevant to bone matrix.
Caution: High doses of vitamin B6 over time may cause tingling or numbness; consider total intake from all supplements.
How they work together
Calcium supplies the mineral matrix for bones, while magnesium supports enzymes and hormones that influence calcium balance. Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption, and boron is associated with optimising the body’s handling of vitamin D and oestrogen. The inclusion of active B vitamins supports methylation processes, which are linked to overall nutrient metabolism relevant to bone health.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult a healthcare practitioner before use. Tamper evident: use only if the bottle is sealed.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications or certain antibiotics may need to separate calcium and magnesium by at least two hours due to possible absorption interference. Those on anticoagulants may consider vitamin K content, but this product does not list vitamin K. People with kidney concerns or a history of kidney stones may wish to discuss calcium and magnesium supplements with a healthcare provider. If using medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, consulting a healthcare provider before combining is recommended.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.

Overview
- Food Supplement
- Bone Support
- Gluten-free
Although everyone loses bone density as they age, certain groups are particularly at risk. As many as half of all women in the United States older than 65 should be concerned about maintaining good bone health. Thorne's Advanced Bone Support is a comprehensive bone support supplement. It contains dicalcium malate and dimagnesium malate (two calcium or magnesium molecules each bound to one molecule of malic acid) for enhanced absorption and greater concentration of these important minerals.
Adequate magnesium intake promotes bone density by optimising the secretion of parathyroid hormone and facilitating active calcium transport to the bones. Advanced Bone Support provides vitamin D3, which facilitates the absorption of calcium; boron, which assists the body's metabolism of vitamin D and oestrogen; and B vitamins for healthy methylation, which mediates homocysteine levels, a known risk factor of low bone density.
