Cal Defense™ — 13-Ingredient Bone Support Formula with Calcium, D3, K, Ipriflavone & Bromelain
Bone health depends on more than just calcium alone — it requires a coordinated network of vitamins, minerals, and specialized compounds that support calcium absorption, bone matrix formation, and bone density maintenance.* Daily Defense® Cal Defense™ delivers 1,000 mg of Calcium from three forms, Vitamin D3, Vitamin K, Magnesium, and 8 additional bone-supporting ingredients — including Ipriflavone and Bromelain — in a comprehensive once-daily formula. Formulated in the USA. 90 tablets per bottle, 30-day supply (3 tablets per serving).
What’s Inside
-
Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) — 30 mg (33% DV) — An essential cofactor in collagen synthesis — collagen forms the organic matrix of bone tissue that gives bones their flexibility and tensile strength.*
-
Vitamin D (as cholecalciferol) — 10 mcg / 400 IU (50% DV) — Vitamin D3 is essential for calcium absorption in the intestine. Without adequate Vitamin D, the body cannot effectively absorb dietary or supplemental calcium regardless of intake.*
-
Vitamin K (as phytonadione) — 30 mcg (25% DV) — Vitamin K1 supports the carboxylation of osteocalcin — a bone matrix protein that binds calcium into bone tissue — supporting healthy bone mineralization.*
-
Calcium — 1,000 mg (77% DV) (as calcium carbonate, microcrystalline hydroxyapatite, and calcium citrate) — The primary structural mineral of bone, delivered in three complementary forms: calcium carbonate for high elemental calcium content, microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA) — the natural mineral form found in bone — and calcium citrate for enhanced absorption, particularly without food.*
-
Magnesium — 200 mg (48% DV) (as magnesium oxide/citrate) — Approximately 60% of the body’s magnesium is stored in bone. Magnesium supports healthy bone density, calcium metabolism, and Vitamin D activation.*
-
Zinc (as zinc gluconate) — 7.5 mg (68% DV) — Supports healthy bone formation and the activity of osteoblasts (bone-building cells).*
-
Copper (as cupric oxide) — 0.4 mg (44% DV) — Supports collagen cross-linking in bone matrix and healthy connective tissue formation.*
-
Manganese (as manganese sulfate) — 0.75 mg (32% DV) — Supports healthy bone matrix formation and cartilage synthesis.*
-
Potassium (as potassium gluconate) — 50 mg (1% DV) — Supports healthy acid-base balance, which influences calcium retention in bone.*
-
Ipriflavone — 30 mg — A synthetic isoflavone derived from daidzein that has been specifically studied for its role in supporting healthy bone density and inhibiting bone resorption.* Ipriflavone is one of the more targeted specialty ingredients in bone health supplementation.*
-
Bromelain (2,400 GDU/g) — 30 mg — A proteolytic enzyme from pineapple standardized to 2,400 GDU/g. Bromelain supports healthy digestion and nutrient absorption, and provides anti-inflammatory support that may benefit joint and bone health.*
-
Boron (as boron amino acid chelate) — 1.5 mg — A trace mineral that supports healthy bone metabolism by influencing the utilization of calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D.*
-
L-Lysine HCl — 75 mg — An essential amino acid that supports collagen synthesis and enhances calcium absorption in the intestine, contributing to healthy bone matrix formation.*
How It Works
Cal Defense™ addresses bone health through four complementary pathways. First, the calcium-vitamin foundation: 1,000 mg of Calcium from three forms, Vitamin D3 for absorption, and Vitamin K for calcium utilization in bone matrix.* Second, the mineral support network: Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Potassium, and Boron provide the trace mineral environment that healthy bone metabolism depends on.* Third, the collagen matrix: Vitamin C and L-Lysine support collagen synthesis — the organic scaffold that gives bone its structural integrity.* Fourth, specialty support: Ipriflavone targets bone resorption, and Bromelain supports absorption and healthy inflammatory balance.*
What It Supports
- Healthy bone density and mineralization*
- Calcium absorption via Vitamin D3*
- Bone matrix formation via Vitamin K, Vitamin C & L-Lysine*
- Healthy bone resorption balance via Ipriflavone*
- Nutrient absorption via Bromelain*
- Overall skeletal and joint health*
Who Is This For?
Daily Defense® Cal Defense™ is designed for adults looking to support healthy bone density and skeletal health with a comprehensive multi-ingredient bone support formula. It may be a good fit if you:
- Want a complete bone support formula with Calcium from 3 forms, D3, K, and Magnesium*
- Are looking for a formula that includes Ipriflavone and Bromelain alongside foundational bone minerals
- Have limited sun exposure and want to support healthy Vitamin D and calcium levels
- Are working with a healthcare professional to support healthy bone density
