Ingredients explained
Calcium (as DiCalcium Malate)
Calcium provides the mineral building blocks for bone tissue and participates in muscle contraction and nerve signaling.
Caution: Take with food if you experience stomach discomfort, and separate from high-iron supplements by a few hours because they can compete for absorption.
Magnesium (as DiMagnesium Malate)
Magnesium acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in bone formation and supports calcium transport and balance.
Caution: May loosen stools in some people; split doses with meals if sensitive.
Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 increases intestinal absorption of calcium and supports bone mineralization.
Caution: Avoid combining high-dose vitamin D with additional high-dose vitamin D products unless guided, as excessive intake may raise blood calcium.
Boron (as boron glycinate complex)
Boron influences mineral and vitamin D metabolism and may help maintain healthy calcium and magnesium utilization in bone.
Caution: Use cautiously with high-boron diets or additional boron supplements to avoid excessive intake.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), Folate (as L-5-MTHF), Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin)
These B vitamins support methylation processes that are associated with homocysteine metabolism, which may relate to connective tissue and bone health.
Caution: High-dose B vitamins can cause nausea or flushing in some people; take with food if sensitive.
How they work together
Calcium and magnesium supply key bone minerals, while vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption and supports mineralization. Boron helps the body handle mineral and vitamin D metabolism. The methylated B vitamins support homocysteine metabolism, adding a complementary pathway linked to structural health.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before use.
Who should be cautious: People taking thyroid medications, certain antibiotics, or levodopa may need to separate calcium and magnesium from these medications by at least 2 hours. Individuals monitoring high-dose vitamin D intake should be mindful of total daily vitamin D from all sources. If combining with medications that may interact with calcium or magnesium, consult a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Bone Support
- Gluten Free
Although everyone loses bone density as they age, certain groups are particularly at risk. As many as half of all women in the United States older than 65 should be concerned about maintaining good bone health. Thorne's Advanced Bone Support is a comprehensive bone support supplement. It contains dicalcium malate and dimagnesium malate (two calcium or magnesium molecules each bound to one molecule of malic acid) for enhanced absorption and greater concentration of these important minerals.
Adequate magnesium intake promotes bone density by optimizing the secretion of parathyroid hormone and facilitating active calcium transport to the bones. Advanced Bone Support provides vitamin D3, which facilitates the absorption of calcium; boron, which assists the body's metabolism of vitamin D and estrogen; and B vitamins for healthy methylation, which mediates homocysteine levels, a known risk factor of low bone density.
