Your body produces calcium hydroxyapatite, which is a three-dimensional calcium-rich structure that is the building block of bone.  Dietary supplements of calcium hydroxyapatite are a true bone food and have been shown to be a superior form of calcium for bone health.

A four year study with postmenopausal women1 who had osteopenia showed that calcium hydroxyapatite significantly improved their bone mineral density.  An earlier study had shown calcium hydroxyapatite2 could prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women whereas calcium carbonate could not.  A meta analysis comparing calcium hydroxyapatite to calcium carbonate3 finds it a superior choice for bone rejuvenation and bone mineral density.

The quality of calcium is one factor that determines if a product can help your bones.  Calcium hydroxyapatite makes sense as one of the types of calcium you can use for effective bone support nutrition.
