Question:	Is this price for 6 bags with 30 disks per bag
Answer:	I am guessing approximately 4 to 4 1/2 ft. I cannot tell exactly as our lights are already up and we placed the charger on the upper edge of our gutters. The lights work really well, both around the top of the deck and in the trees. The chargers for the trees are hung on a small nail on the trunk of the trees where the sun hits.

User questions & answers

Question:	Doctor recommend citracal 1200 slow release. nature's bounty are not slow release. is there a difference between them
Answer:	The difference I am aware of is that Citrical is calcium citrate and Natures bounty is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is more common and cheaper. However, calcium citrate is more easily absorbed by the body. I have found through experience that it has fewer side effects (eg. constipation) and my doctor says that your bones benefit more from that form of calcium so the cost differential is worth it. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a One Month Supply
Answer:	We do not use gelatin of any kind. The capsules are made of vegetable cellulose and are 100% vegan.
Question:	From which country are the raw materials sourced
Answer:	The capsules are Size 00. If you have trouble swallowing you can easily open the capsules and mix the powder with your food or drink.
Question:	Are these capsules made of vegan gelatin or regular gelatin
Answer:	Our Grassfed Bone Marrow is a whole food dietary supplement that comes from the femur bone all the way down to the knuckle's end. This is what we refer to as "whole bone extract" which provides the bone matrix (calcium hydroxyapatite, osteocalcium phosphate, collagen, proteoglycans, matrix proteins, cytokines and growth factors), the bone marrow (fat soluble activators and stem cells), the cartilage and yes, it provides collagen peptides too. These nourishing constituents are in the proper physiological amounts that exist in harmony with nature. I am sorry that I can not be more specific at this time. We are in the process of developing assays for some of our products. Though this is not a requirement for label compliance purposes, we see value in providing as much information as possible to our customers. For the time being, I hope that you will find some value in knowing that these healing nutrients are offered to us in the same balance that is found in nature.
Question:	I have a problem swallowing most pills. Are these smaller and easy to swallow? Thank you
Answer:	The bone matrix is essentially that which makes up the complex architecture of the osseous tissues... our bones. It's what gives our bones strength, flexibility and remodeling ability. The bone matrix contains calcium hydroxyapatite, osteocalcium phosphate, collagen, proteoglycans, matrix proteins, cytokines, growth factors and much more. Included in the "much more" is the naturally occurring silicon that you asked about. I hope this helps!
Question:	How much mchc is in each serving
Answer:	To be certain, collagen peptides offer many benefits… however, collagen peptides do not contain bone marrow (nor) the incredible nourishment of the bone matrix, both of which are at the heart of our Bone Marrow product… this is because commercial collagen peptide supplements come from the hides, not the bones. There’s a whole lot more to the story when it comes to our Bone Marrow product than just the all mighty collagen. For instance, our Bone Marrow provides everything that’s in the bone matrix (calcium hydroxyapatite, osteocalcium phosphate, collagen, proteoglycans, matrix proteins, cytokines and growth factors, etc), the bone marrow (fat soluble activators and stem cells), the cartilage and yes, it provides collagen peptides too. If you where to compare our Bone Marrow with our Bovine Tracheal Cartilage, you would find similar amino acid profiles high in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. It turns out that there are several overlapping benefits because both products are rich in bovine cartilage. If you want the added nourishment that's expressed from the bone matrix and bone marrow, go for our Bone Marrow product. If you want more of the cartilage and collagen, go for the Bovine Tracheal Cartilage. I hope this helps! OUR BONE MARROW (WHOLE BONE EXTRACT) SUPPORTS... - Bone Health (think bones, marrow and teeth)... Based On "Like Supports Like" - Connective Tissue Health (think ligaments, tendons, cartilage, skin)...Based On "Like Supports Like" - Dental Health And Immune Health - Supports And Repairs Cellular Damage OUR BOVINE TRACHEAL CARTILAGE SUPPORTS - Healing, Immune Health And Joint Health - Treatment Response In Conditions Considered To Be Treatment Resistant - Connective Tissue And Digestive Health
Question:	Can you explain what "bone matrix" is? Also, does this product have naturally occurring silicon for bone health
Answer:	Hardly any... Our only product with a flow constituent is our Bone Marrow... one of the reasons that bone marrow is so incredibly nourishing is because it is so rich in fat soluble activators which makes it impossible to flow through encapsulation machines. To bring this health promoting product to market, we added the smallest, most minuscule amount of certified organic rice concentrate and silica. For perspective, a pinch of salt is about 300 mg... that said, the amount of organic rice concentrate in one capsule is a fraction (1/30th) of a single pinch of salt... this might equate to the equivalent of a couple of grains of salt. I hope this helps!
Question:	Between this product and Bovine Tracheal Cartilage, which has closest amino acid profile to the collagen peptides products from other brands
Answer:	I honestly felt like the first two days it was working for me
Question:	How much rice flour is in each capsule
Answer:	Same it doesn't work dont waste your money

User questions & answers

Question:	Do they have sugar free ones
Answer:	Thank you for your interest in Nature's Bounty! The product is not USP verified however we endeavor to conform to the United States Pharmacopeia/National Formulary (USP/NF) requirements, which are industry standard for purity and testing. If a USP/NF procedure does not exist for a product, other published referenced works are consulted, such as the European Pharmacopeia, etc. Our products are subject to rigorous testing before, during and after manufacture, including analysis by High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatographs, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Thin Layer Chromatography, Ultraviolet/ Spectrophotometry, wet analysis and Near Infrared Spectrophotometry.
Question:	Does these chews have any soy in it
Answer:	Each bottle label is stamped with a lot number (ex.: 924235-1), and an expiration date (month/year), (for ex.: 09/17 means September 2017). There is no fixed expiration date; it is based upon when the product was manufactured and released for sale. Therefore, I recommend that you contact the manufacturer for additional information. Call Nature's Bounty at 1-800-433-2990, Mon. - Sat. 9AM - 7 PM ET. The product name is Nature's Bounty Rapid Release Liquid Filled Absorbable Calcium 1200 MG, Product No. 13439. My GP doctor recommended this brand.One last comment. All purchases of this product I have made from Amazon have always had expiration dates of at least 2 years after purchase, which give plenty of time to consume the content before it exceeds the expiration date.
Question:	What is the expiry date on this
Answer:	No. It is not
Question:	Is this calcium citrate (more readily absorbed by the body)? Or carbonate (which is not as well absorbed
Answer:	well I agree with the people who think it's wrong to say 1200mg... I was comparing the price to Sam's club calcium 600mg soft gels which SAY 600mg on the label, and then on the ingredients and serving size it does say to take 2/day and lists the total on the contents chart as 1200 for the 2 capsules, but they certainly didn't call their capsules 1200mg. THAT would have been false. If they show 600mg, then a person KNOWS that for 1200mg daily they would have to take two capsules and the bottle would last half as long. So that's my $0.02 and I will also shop elsewhere. :)

The Bone Builder

650mg Calcium per chew (50% Daily Value)

Aside from building strong bones, your body needs calcium to handle other important tasks: to move muscles, send messages through the nervous system, help release hormones and enzymes, and circulate blood*.

Your body can't make calcium, so it absorbs it from your diet and from supplements, then stores it. From childhood through your teen years, you build up your calcium stores until you reach your peak bone mass; you then stop increasing your calcium stores and start maintaining them. That's why getting calcium early on and throughout your life is so important.

The Calcium Absorber

12.5mcg (500 IU) Vitamin D3 (63% Daily Value)

Before calcium can do its job, it has to be absorbed by your body - and that's where vitamin D comes in. Vitamin D regulates calcium absorption in the body, maintains calcium and phosphate levels, and promotes bone growth*.

Your body produces vitamin D when your bare skin is exposed to sunshine - specifically ultraviolet B rays - making vitamin D known as 'The Sunshine Vitamin'. While sunshine and a healthy diet are key to vitamin D, getting enough isn't easy. Some reasons include spending more time indoors and wearing sunscreen that blocks UVB rays

The Bone Protector

40mcg of Vitamin K (33% Daily Value)

Vitamin K plays an important role in bone health.

Vitamin K partners with vitamin D to boost calcium absorption, affect calcium balance and increase bone mineral density - helping your body absorb osteocalcin*, a protein that studies show may be essential for protecting bones from fractures.

Note: If you're on blood-thinning medications, be sure to talk to your doctor before taking Viactiv Calcium plus D.

Building Bone Mass in your Teens

Your bones absorb more calcium between the ages of 9 and 18 than during any other period in your life, which is then 'deposited' in your bones.

The more calcium you store during your teens, the greater your peak bone mass is as an adult.

Up to 90% of a teen girl's bone mass is achieved by the age of 18. Once you reach peak bone mass, your body starts to 'withdraw' more calcium than you deposit, which can weaken your bones over time.

86% of teen girls don't get enough calcium in their diet, according to a 2010 study published in The Journal of Nutrition.

Support for You and Your Baby during Pregnancy

When you're eating for two, you're eating to support your health, and your baby's development. To do both, you need to make sure you're getting enough nutrients, vitamins and minerals from your diet — including calcium.

For pregnant and lactating adult women, the recommended amount of calcium is 1,300 mg a day. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, your baby will actually draw it from your teeth and bones to build their own teeth and bones, as well as develop their circulatory, muscular and nervous systems - the same systems you need calcium to support. Continuing to lose calcium, and over time your bones can weaken, which can increase your risk of osteoporosis.

Preventing Osteoporosis after Menopause

Osteoporosis, which means 'porous bone,' is a disease in which bones have lost density, making them weaker and more likely to break. If not prevented or if left untreated, osteoporosis can progress silently and painlessly until a bone breaks. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation:

80% of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis are women.

As women reach menopause, the chance of developing osteoporosis increases because of the sharp drop in estrogen, which can cause bone loss.

Adequate calcium and vitamin D as part of a healthy diet - along with physical activity - may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life*.
