Why Choose Better Bones Basics?

When your bones get stronger, everything else does too — your skin, your nails, your hair, and your confidence. Better Bones Basics is a complete daily foundation for women experiencing osteopenia or early bone loss who also want to support beauty from within.

Your bones aren’t just made of minerals — they’re built on a living collagen matrix. That same collagen supports your skin’s elasticity, your hair’s shine, and your nails’ strength.

This formula nourishes both aspects of your health at once.

Better Bones Basics includes all seven essential bone-building nutrients in therapeutic, research-aligned amounts — plus silica from horsetail herb to strengthen the collagen network that connects bone health to beauty.

For over 10 years, thousands of women have trusted this formula to help maintain healthy DEXA scores, support bone stability, and feel stronger and more vibrant every day.

Whether you’re navigating osteopenia or simply want to age beautifully and confidently, Better Bones Basics gives your body exactly what it needs — in the right forms, and the right amounts — to build strength from the inside out.

Better Bones Basics contains:

• Vitamin D3 — the best regulator of calcium and phosphorus to support bones and teeth, vitamin D3 is included in the appropriate amount for good calcium absorption.
• Vitamin K — as both K1 and K2. Vitamin K1 plays a key role in blood clotting, and binds calcium onto the skeleton while keeping calcium out of the arteries. Vitamin K2 is produced by bacteria in aged or fermented foods and works to build bone strength in addition to many other health benefits.
• Calcium — included as a carbonate/citrate complex, is essential for healthy bone development and maintenance. Calcium gives your bones both strength and rigidity, and needs adequate vitamin D3 (the amount in this formula) to be absorbed.
• Magnesium — assures strength and firmness of bones, makes teeth harder, and is essential for the absorption and metabolism of calcium.
• Zinc — required for bone healing and repair, and proper absorption of calcium.
• Manganese — a trace mineral involved in the formation of bone cartilage and bone collagen, and required for bone mineralization.
• Boron — needed for the metabolism and utilization of many bone-building nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3.
• Silicon  - Silicon dioxide from horsetail herb provides silicon, an essential trace mineral that supports bone strength, collagen production, and connective tissue health.

Our Better Bones Basics is:

• Made with nutrients in their most alkalizing forms, all chosen for their purity, potency and bioavailability.
• Formulated according to the latest research findings that calcium alone is not enough.
• Manufactured according to high quality standards, which are externally validated to meet or exceed the FDA's GMP's (Good Manufacturing Practices) regulations.

Better Bones Basics vs. Better Bones Builder: Which is right for you?

Better Bones Basics is the ideal daily foundation for women who want proactive bone support—especially through menopause or after factors like genetics, hysterectomy, or other health considerations—while also supporting collagen plus healthy hair, skin, and nails.

Better Bones Builder is designed for women with more serious bone health concerns who need a higher-level, more targeted bone-building approach. Both follow Dr. Susan Brown’s bone-building principles—the best choice depends on where you are in your bone-health journey.
