Description
Bone Revolution capsules are designed to mask the taste of unpalatable active ingredients, make swallowing easier, and allow for easier removal of the capsules if unable to swallow them. The capsules also have less binding agents and are aligned with the South African Nutrient Reference Values. The Real Thing Bone Revolution is a unique blend of mineral-rich sea vegetables, most importantly Aquamin, a clinically tested form of the red seaweed Lithothamnium corallioides that contains 32% calcium and lots of other skeleton-friendly stuff. Sea vegetables, especially the red ones, are a major source of natural minerals. This is good news because, when it comes to bone health, calcium seems to work better in combination with other bone- nutrients, all of which work better together. It is nutritional teamwork. The Real Thing Bone Revolution aims to improve the bodys levels of nutrients involved in healthy bone turnover. Its not just calcium but a team of power-players that help to minimise or prevent bone loss due to age and nutrient-deficiency.
During the course of 2021, The Real Thing converted its tablets to capsules with the following benefits:
- Masks the taste of unpalatable active ingredients
- Easier to swallow than tablets
- Capsules may be opened and contents removed if unable to swallow capsules
- Active ingredients undergo gentler and less processing during manufacture
- Binders have been removed from the formulation
- Active ingredients have been aligned with the South African Nutrient Reference Values

What?Bone Revolution is a unique blend of mineral-rich sea vegetables, most importantly Aquamin, a clinically tested form of the red seaweed Lithothamnium corallioides that contains 32% calcium and lots of other skeleton-friendly stuff.
Why?Sea vegetables, especially the red ones, are a major source of natural minerals. This is good news because, when it comes to bone health, calcium seems to work better in combination with other bone- nutrients, all of which work better together.
So what?It's nutritional teamwork. The Real Thing Bone Revolution aims to improve the bodys levels of nutrients involved in healthy bone turnover. Its not just calcium but a team of power-players that help to minimise or prevent bone loss due to age and nutrient-deficiency. Go team! It may also help to counter the loss for people taking bone-depleting medications like corticosteroids.
WHATS IN BONE REVOLUTION?
Calcium, a different kind
Boron
Magnesium
Vitamin D3
MenaQ7 (Vitamin K2)
Manganese
Zinc
THE RECOMMENDED BLEND.While taking lifestyle steps such as quitting smoking, exercising more, drinking less alcohol and avoiding bone-damaging meds, Bone Revolution helps take care of these nutrient needs. The rest is up to you.
CALCIUM, A DIFFERENT KIND
Its a plant-derived supplement.Some calcium supplements are isolated elements created in a lab, whilst others are made from crushed chalk, cow bone, limestone or different sorts of rock. The calcium in Bone Revolution is delivered in a natural and organic powdered sea-veg form. So which is better for us, rock or plant? We believe the body prefers the latter.
Its extra-easy to absorb.The mineral-rich Lithothamnium corrallioides red seaweed in Bone Revolution
(also known as Aquamin) grows extremely slowly. Really. Very. Slowly. This means it has plenty of time to filter, absorb and pre-digest calcium and other minerals from the sea thoroughly. Thats why the calcium in this supplement is easy for your body to absorb, retain and ultimately use.
It works more than one way.Two recent animal studies published in the Journal of Phytotherapy
Research 2011 and in Calcified Tissue International 2010, have shown that Aquamin actually increases bone mineralisation, meaning that it doesnt just help to prevent bone loss, but could in fact promote bone formation too.
Why weve included calcium
Calcium is essential for normal bone structure and function.
Its one of the main bone-forming minerals, in fact 99% of the bodys calcium is found in the skeleton.
Because its lost through sweat, skin cells and waste, the bodys calcium concentration tends to decline with time. This is particularly pronounced in women. Why? Because with age , oestrogen levels decrease and calcium absorption tends to fall too.
WHATS THE RIGHT DOSE?Although the 2010 South African Nutrient Reference Value
(SANRV) and US Institute of Medicine say the recommended adult calcium intake is 1 300mg a day, most modern diets provide less than half that. In western countries the average is 500 mg - 600mg a day, sometimes even less a 2006 study involving South African women found their intake to be as low as 450 mg daily! So, because the average diet delivers up to 850 mg less calcium a day than it should, weve designed Bone Revolution to contain 400 mg of elemental calcium (1333 mg calcium salt) per dosage in a unique form to supplement daily intake.
BORON
Its a booster for other bone nutrients.Studies show that boron can help keep bones strong by activating vitamin D, which in turn promotes calcium absorption. Nice. Clearly better levels of one lead to better levels of the o
