The main mineral of bone tissue of all vertebrates on the planet, making it an ideal, maximum digestible source of elements for restoring and strengthening bone tissue in case of fractures and systemic diseases of the skeleton.
Unlike other calcium compounds, hydroxyapatite easily dissolves in gastric contents and does not provoke calcification of arterial walls, the formation of stones in the gall bladder, renal pelvis and tubules.
Mineral supplements based on modified hydroxyapatite, from food mineral raw materials of non-animal origin, are the most digestible and highly effective sources of elements involved in the metabolic processes of connective tissue.
The density, strength and elasticity of skeletal bones depend not only on the proportion of hydroxyapatite in the bone matrix, but also on its chemical composition. Elements such as magnesium, zinc, boron, silicon, iodine take an active part in the development of connective tissue, including the formation and mineralization of bone tissue, activating the processes of bone metabolism. Moreover, some of them are built directly into the structure of hydroxyapatite, giving the bone tissue the necessary strength characteristics.
Bone is a dynamic system with active metabolism.
Throughout life, it undergoes continuous renewal through a process known as bone remodeling, which involves the breakdown of old bone tissue and the formation of new bone. A key factor in the chemistry of this process is the unique ability of hydroxyapatite to exchange certain elements within its crystalline structure. This elemental substitution alters the properties of hydroxyapatite crystals, enabling their dissolution and reformation, and thus plays a critical role in both the degradation and regeneration of bone tissue.
