Marine-Derived Multi-Mineral Formula Aquamin Enhances Osteoblast Mineralization In Vitro

Osteoporosis is a global health problem characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. It is now generally recognized that dietary factors play a central role in bone development and health. A diet lacking sufficient minerals is considered a risk factor for osteoporosis. The food supplement Aquamin is a natural multi-mineral derived from the red algae Lithothamnion corallioides, rich in calcium, magnesium, and 72 other trace minerals.

Research reports that Aquamin promotes mineralization of osteoblast cultures, plays an important role in bone formation, and may help treat bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
