Micro-crystalline Hydroxyapatite Mineral/Protein Complex
Source:
Food grade powdered bone from grass-fed & finished, pastured, BSE-free New Zealand cattle, in micro (not nano) particle size. Non-ashed, to preserve naturally occurring peptides.
Function:
Supports tooth remineralization by providing the exact same minerals our teeth are made of, in the right ratio, and in the right (micro) particle size for optimal support (without the potential risks of nanoparticles). Helps mitigate some active tooth decay, and helps protect against future demineralization and cavities.
Why is the non-ashed peptide preservation so important? Research demonstrates that hydroxyapatite combined with peptides (proteins) helps enhance remineralization potential: “The early pellicle proteins, proline-rich proteins and statherin, promote remineralization of the enamel by attracting calcium ions.” (1)
