dōTERRA Bone Nutrient Essential Complex
Bone Nutrient Essential Complex consists of a proprietary formula of the highest quality bone nutrients in bioavailable forms. This supplement includes 100 percent of the recommended daily amounts of calcium and magnesium, and the important trace minerals zinc, copper, manganese, and boron. These nutrients are vital for bone health and strength, and are commonly deficient in the average woman’s diet.
This formula also contains vitamin D-2 and D-3 to help bones absorb calcium.* Nutrition is all about absorption. If the nutrients are not in a highly bioavailable form and not complemented by other substances that assist efficient absorption, the user might as well not even take them. Vitamin D has been associated with improved calcium absorption.*
For those concerned about the possible risks associated with sodium lauryl sulfate, Bone Nutrient Essential Complex is made with SLS-free HPMC vegetable capsules.
Beginning at an early age, women begin to build bone mass, reaching a maximum bone density in their late twenties. A diet rich in essential bone nutrients is critical during these early years of bone development, but food intake surveys suggest that women consume half the recommended amounts of calcium and other bone nutrients for optimal bone health. This deficiency is pronounced in teens who are less likely to eat right but who would benefit from increased bone nutrient consumption as their young bones are absorbing nutrients at a rate nearly double that of adult women.
As a woman ages, healthy bone mass and density becomes a more significant influencer of overall health and quality of life. Scientists agree that adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.* Building strong bones through a woman’s formative years and maintaining bone mass and density as she ages are critical parts of a lifelong health strategy.

Primary Benefits
- Bone Nutrient Essential Complex provides optimal levels of vitamins and minerals essential for developing and maintaining healthy bone mass and density.* A diet rich in essential bone nutrients is critical for bone development and long-term health, but food intake surveys suggest women often consume half the recommended amounts of calcium and other bone nutrients.
- Deficiencies in calcium and magnesium are often very pronounced in female diets. Bone Nutrient Essential Complex provides 100 percent of the recommended daily amounts of calcium and magnesium.
- As mentioned, when it comes to receiving the proper nutrients, absorption is key. Bone Nutrient Essential Complex contains vitamin D2 and D3 to help bones absorb calcium.*
- Bone health and strength is vital for women beginning before adulthood. Bone Nutrient Essential Complex was designed for women from teenage to postmenopausal age. Teens are less likely to eat right, but could benefit even more from meeting nutrient guidelines as their young bones are absorbing nutrients at a rate nearly double that of adult women. Supplementation can be an easy way to ensure a lifetime of bone health.*
- While nutrients for the bones can be consumed through diet, most women aren’t getting the calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients they need in their daily diet. The Bone Nutrient Essential Complex provides an easy and convenient way to get these nutrients.

FAQs
- At what age should a woman start to use the Bone Nutrient Essential Complex?
- Bone Nutrient Essential Complex is safe for use by women of all ages desiring to increase their dietary consumption of essential bone nutrients. It can help young adults reach their maximum peak bone mass and help prevent bone loss throughout adulthood, especially after menopause.
- Can men also use the Bone Nutrient Essential Complex?
- The Bone Nutrient Essential Complex can be safely and effectively used by men. It is marketed towards women because women are at a higher risk for bone loss, especially after menopause. However, bone loss also occurs in men.
- Why do I need both Vitamin D2 and D3?
- Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) are included in the bone nutrient complex to help you get both forms of vitamin D. Both forms effectively raise vitamin D levels in your blood and contribute to optimum bone health.
- Is the Bone Nutrient Essential Complex GMO and gluten-free?
- Yes. dōTERRA's Bone Nutrient is both non-GMO and gluten-free.
- Why is zinc, copper, manganese, and boron listed as yeast? Should I be concerned if I am suffering from the effects of Candida?
- The minerals in the Bone Nutrient Lifetime Complex™ are added to a harmless yeast culture, allowing the yeast to modify and incorporate the mineral into their biological matrix. The yeast, which is unrelated to Candida and is non-infectious, is rendered inactive at the end of the process and does not cause any Candida issues or buildup of yeast in the body.
