Mechanism of Action

Cifrol-K2 Softgel works by combining the active ingredients to provide multiple benefits for bone health. Boron, Calcium Carbonate, and Vitamin K2-7 support the formation and maintenance of healthy bones. Calcitriol helps the body absorb calcium, while Magnesium is involved in bone formation and maintenance. Zinc contributes to bone mineralization, and Folic Acid plays a role in bone metabolism. Docosahexanoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) are omega-3 fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties and may support overall bone health. Methylcobalamin is a form of Vitamin B12 that aids in proper nerve function and the production of red blood cells.
