BONEIN® by Osteogen - Equine, Canine and Human Formulations

Science

Osteogen Research

There are two main active ingredients in BONEIN®: Strontium and a Marine Mineral Complex formed on a specific algae that grows on the sea bed floors off Iceland and Ireland. This is my test box.

Strontium

Strontium, or specifically salts of strontium, have been shown to activate the bone matrix mechanism. And as such was used for osteoporosis in Europe. Independently it has been shown to be of benefit in treatment of arthritis in the knees of people.

Marine Mineral Complex

The marine mineral complex, which consists of mainly calcium carbonate, has been shown to have an extremely high bio-availability for laying down calcium in bone. As shown on the label, the marine mineral complex supplies a rich source of calcium along with a broad range of trace elements.

As an example a mouse’s femur, having received the complex, is almost three times thicker than the mouse’s femur that did not receive the supplement.

Clinical Description of Osteoarthritis

Joint instability results in possible joint inflammation due to disruption of the cartilage matrix. In a normal joint, under a dynamic weighted load, small micro fractures form just below the joint surface. In a normal physiologic state a “bone matrix mechanism” consisting of cells laying down new bone and other cells picking up bone, these little fractures are easily repaired. In overly stressed joints, the bone matrix mechanism can be overwhelmed. Examples of overwhelmed joints would be in performance animals and in older people. In older people, as the metabolism has slowed, so has the action of the bone matrix mechanism. In these cases as the bone becomes softer,  the joint becomes unstable. These minerals are fortified with different vitamins and some formulations have an organosulfur compound included as well.

Scientific References

Given the success and safety record of BONEIN throughout its yearlong clinical study with horses, with ZERO adverse events reported whatsoever, we have developed BONEIN for people (BONEIN MD) and dogs (BONEIN K9).

MD is a 2 part formulation comprised of Strontium Citrate Powder or Capsules and the marine multi-mineral complex Red Algae Calcium Powder or Capsules. They are the same core ingredients found in our innovative equine feed supplement.

BONEIN K9 is a 2-part formulation Powder, packaged specifically for small, medium and large dogs, making it simple to administer to your particular breed, whether large or small.

BONEIN MD, BONEIN K9 and BONEIN Equine Feed Supplements are all available online and over the counter from Ferguson & Associates Veterinary Clinic in Ocala, FL "Horse Capital of the World!"
