A comparison of changes in bone density following the same bone-health plan, but with a different bone-health supplement.
The US Surgeon General's Report on Bone Health suggests America's bone-health is in jeopardy and issued a "call to action" to develop bone-health plans that:
The purpose of this study was to use a comparative effective research model to compare 6-month changes in bone mineral density (BMD)in two study groups. Both followed the same bone health plan that contained the three components listed above with the same plant-source calcium supplement, but enhanced with different levels of calcium, vitamin D3, vitamin K and magnesium.

| A comparison of changes from baseline in 43-blood chemistry panel and a self-reported quality of life inventory in both study groups | Study subjects in both arms of the study completed a fasting 43-blood chemistry panel and an 84-item self-reported quality of life inventory at baseline and again after participating in the study for six months. No significant differences were found in the within-group changes from baseline or between the groups on both sets of measures. |
