{"product_id":"calcium-hydroxyapatite","title":"Calcium hydroxyapatite","description":"Calcium hydroxyapatite is the principal mineral component of bone and teeth, comprising approximately 70% of bone mass by weight. As a dietary supplement, hydroxyapatite is used primarily in two forms: microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCH) and ossein-hydroxyapatite complex (OHC). These preparations are derived from bovine bone and provide not only bioavailable calcium and phosphate in their natural crystalline form, but also bone matrix proteins including type I collagen, growth factors, and other organic components that may support bone metabolism. Unlike simple calcium salts such as calcium carbonate or calcium citrate, hydroxyapatite supplements provide calcium in a matrix that more closely resembles the natural composition of human bone. This structural similarity may contribute to enhanced biological effects on bone formation and mineralization. The ossein component (bone matrix proteins) in OHC formulations may exert additional anabolic effects on bone metabolism beyond simple calcium supplementation [1,2,3]. Hydroxyapatite supplements are clinically indicated for osteoporosis, osteopenia, and prevention of bone loss in postmenopausal and perimenopausal women, as well as for general calcium supplementation in populations at risk for bone density decline [1,2,3,4].","brand":"N of 1™ ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43135760826457,"sku":"W040017000","price":7.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/nof1.myshopify.com\/products\/calcium-hydroxyapatite","provider":"N of 1™ ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
