Studies have shown that taking MCHC can increase bone density by up to 6.1 per cent, even in cases of advanced bone loss. It also improves healing of fractures and relieves back pain in women suffering from bone loss. MCHC is so effective because it is a specially processed whole bone concentrate, derived from young calf bone. It provides highly absorbable calcium and other important minerals needed to build strong bones. Besides calcium, it also contains phosphate, protein and trace amounts of magnesium, fluoride and 25 other minerals that are naturally present in a healthy bone.
