Ingredients explained
Calcium (elemental) from Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite (MCHA)
MCHA supplies calcium in a bone-like matrix with collagen and minerals, which may support bone mineralization and skeletal strength.
Caution: Take with meals to support absorption, and avoid taking at the same time as high-dose iron because calcium can reduce iron uptake.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 enhances intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphorus, helping the body use these minerals for bone formation.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested use if you already take high-dose vitamin D, as excessive intake may raise blood calcium levels.
Vitamin K2 (MK-7, menaquinone-7)
MK-7 activates osteocalcin, a protein that helps guide calcium into bone tissue.
Caution: Consult a healthcare professional if you use anticoagulant medications, because vitamin K can affect how these medicines work.
Magnesium (as magnesium oxide)
Magnesium participates in bone matrix formation and supports vitamin D activation involved in calcium balance.
Caution: Magnesium oxide may cause digestive discomfort in some people; take with food and adequate water.
Boron (as boron citrate)
Boron influences the metabolism of vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium, which may support bone mineral metabolism.
Caution: Avoid combining multiple boron-containing supplements to limit excessive intake.
How they work together
Calcium from MCHA provides the primary mineral building blocks for bone, while vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption. Vitamin K2 (MK-7) helps direct absorbed calcium into bone, and magnesium supports bone matrix formation and vitamin D activity. Boron further supports mineral and vitamin D metabolism for a coordinated approach to bone nourishment.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a healthcare professional before use if taking medications (especially anticoagulants such as warfarin/Coumadin), trying to conceive, pregnant, lactating, under 18, or if you have a medical condition. Stop use if adverse reactions occur.
Who should be cautious: People on anticoagulants may need extra caution due to vitamin K2 content. Those with kidney concerns or who form kidney stones may wish to review total calcium and vitamin D intake with a healthcare provider. If you take thyroid medications or certain antibiotics, consider separating calcium and magnesium from these by at least 2 hours. If you are on warfarin or other anticoagulants, consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

BoneUp® 3 Per Day offers many of the same nutrients of regular BoneUp® but in a convenient, 3-capsule formula. This comprehensive formula provides StimuCal™ MicroCrystalline HydroxyApatite (MCHA) from free-range New Zealand calves and micronutrients to support bone health. StimuCal™ is a naturally derived source of calcium shown to support bone mineral density better than calcium carbonate. StimuCal™ also provides bone proteins, including type I collagen. Vitamins D₃ and K₂ work together to support calcium deposition into bones.
Health Claim: Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
