Skeletal Strength
How it Works
Skeletal Strength is a vitamin, mineral and herbal supplement formulated to nourish the structural system of the body. The formula contains a wide range of nutrients known to benefit the structural system, as well as the nutritive herbs horsetail, parsley and valerian.
Recent research shows that calcium operates according to a diurnal time cycle. During the day when the body is active, calcium in nerve cells is utilized for muscle contraction and nerve transmissions. When this calcium is depleted, muscle fatigue is experienced. During sleep when the body is inactive, calcium is extracted from bone tissues to replenish cellular stores, that is, unless calcium is being adequately supplied in the diet.
Researchers have shown that taking calcium supplements at night helps to balance calcium levels in the blood, reducing the risk of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis.
There is more calcium in the body than any other mineral. Almost 99 percent (two to three pounds) of all the body’s calcium is found in the bones and teeth.
Calcium, magnesium and phosphorus all work together for healthy bones and teeth. When stress is present calcium is lost, and a deficiency in magnesium may occur in highly stressed individuals.
Magnesium has been referred to as the antistress mineral.

The story behind Skeletal Strength
Nature’s Sunshine artfully combines bone-strengthening vitamins and minerals with nutritious herbs that offer complementary benefits to the structural system. In 1493, Christopher Columbus found pineapples in the Caribbean. This sweet, yellow fruit naturally contains a group of protease digestive enzymes called bromelain. Bromelain has been studied for its beneficial properties in the field of bone health and strength. Pineapple also provides manganese, which supports the development of bones and connective tissue, and vitamin C, which helps with bone mineralization. Did you know that papaya fruit is considered a large, tropical berry? It provides the enzyme papain, which helps break down protein. Papaya supports digestion and may support joint health and function. The ancient Romans valued horsetail for its healthful properties. This plant naturally contains elemental silicon, which may help strengthen bones and connective tissue.
