Healthy Bones™ tablets

Rather than focusing solely on calcium content, the formula is designed to provide well-rounded support for healthy bones and joints, which are interconnected in Ayurveda. The tablet are also formulated to support digestion of the herbs—a key step in helping the body absorb the calcium.

Another important difference is the ingredients. Healthy Bones combines coral calcium with Ayurvedic herbs including ashwagandha, arjuna, and ginger. All ingredients are whole ingredients from nature—not extracts, and nothing synthetic—which provides the full spectrum of benefits each herb and ingredient has to offer.

The amount of calcium in Healthy Bones naturally varies from batch to batch, which is normal when working with a whole ingredient like coral calcium. We test each batch to determine the amount of calcium. For example, batches have ranged from 188 mg to 430 mg per serving. We make sure to update the supplement facts on the label so you know exactly how much calcium is in your bottle of Healthy Bones.

Healthy Bones is intended to complement a nutrient-rich diet that includes foods that naturally contain calcium. Our article on Healthy Bones provides a list of such foods.

Coral calcium is a naturally occurring source of calcium that also contains trace minerals that improve the bioavailability of the calcium compared to other calcium supplements. It comes from a coral reef.

A coral reef is made up by colonies of sea anemone-like creatures called polyps. These individual organisms take in minerals from the ocean that they then deposit as a type of hard crystalline structure—coral calcium.

Yes. Banyan's coral calcium is ethically and sustainably sourced. Instead of harvesting from living reefs, which can come with many environmental implications, we use coral calcium from old fossilized coral from ancient reefs that are no longer active and have been naturally pushed above sea level.

Coral calcium originates from fossilized coral, which is essentially the exoskeleton of the sea anemone-like creatures called polyps. Because this comes from a once-living creature, Healthy Bones is not considered vegan and may not be suitable for all vegetarians.

That said, some vegans and vegetarians may feel okay about using coral calcium, with the understanding that it is harvested long after the living creatures have died naturally, and with no interference to their natural habitat. Individuals following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles should choose according to their personal preferences.

Healthy Bones is designed as a daily wellness supplement that is safe for long-term use.

As with any supplement, individuals who are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or managing a health condition should consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use.

Healthy Bones is formulated for adults seeking daily support for healthy bones and joints. It can be incorporated into a broader wellness routine that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.
