Vegans should choose plant-based calcium options (Bone Basics uses bovine MCHA). 6 capsules a day is a higher pill count — if you don't like taking multiple capsules, a smaller formula may be a better fit. Vitamart's Take AOR Bone Basics is a comprehensive bone-health formula designed to support strong, healthy bones. Bones need more than calcium, so the formula pairs calcium with vitamin D3, K2, magnesium, vitamin C, and trace minerals. It uses MCHA, a natural bone-mineral form of calcium sourced from bovine bone. It’s made in Canada. How AOR Bone Basics Compares Bone Basics vs Calcium Alone Bone Basics: MCHA calcium + phosphorus + vitamin D3 + K2 + magnesium + vitamin C + trace minerals. Complete bone-matrix support. Calcium Alone: Just calcium. Your body still needs the other cofactors to actually use it for bone building — typically from food or other supplements. Bone Basics vs Cal-Mag Formulas Bone Basics: Calcium, magnesium, plus MCHA, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, vitamin C, and trace minerals. Cal-Mag Formulas: Calcium and magnesium only. Lower cost. A fit if you take vitamin D3 and K2 separately. Bone Basics vs Vitamin D + K2 Combos Bone Basics: Adds calcium and the full mineral matrix. D + K2 Combos: No calcium — a fit if you already get enough calcium from dairy and food and just want the absorption co-factors. What Is MCHA? MCHA stands for microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. It's the natural calcium-phosphate mineral matrix that your own bones are made of — sourced for supplements from grass-fed bovine bone. Unlike synthetic calcium carbonate or calcium citrate, MCHA provides: Calcium and phosphorus in the natural 2:1 ratio your body uses to build bones Trace amounts of bone-supporting minerals (magnesium, zinc, etc.) found naturally in the bone matrix Small amounts of bone proteins that may support bone-building activity Research suggests MCHA may support bone density better than synthetic calcium alone. It's the form often recommended for serious bone-density support. How To Use Adults: Take 6 capsules daily (typically in 2 or 3 divided doses with meals), or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Talk to a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have kidney disease, take blood thinners (vitamin K can interact), or are taking other supplements containing calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, or trace minerals. Frequently Asked Questions ➕ Why 6 capsules a day? To deliver a complete bone-building dose of calcium plus all the supporting cofactors. Spreading the dose across multiple capsules also improves absorption — your body absorbs calcium better in smaller doses than one large dose. ➕ What's MCHA and why is it different from regular calcium? MCHA (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) is the natural bone-mineral matrix your own bones are made of. It provides calcium plus phosphorus, trace minerals, and small amounts of bone proteins — unlike synthetic calcium carbonate which is just calcium. ➕ Can I take this with blood thinners? The vitamin K2 in Bone Basics can interact with blood thinners like warfarin. Talk to your healthcare practitioner before starting. ➕ Is it vegan? No. MCHA is bovine-sourced from free-range New Zealand cattle.
