What is Perque Bone Guard Forté? It is safe and effective for bone health?

Answer:

Perque Bone Guard Forté is a supplement marketed as providing "19 uniquely balanced, energized, and alkalinizing bone builders." Although the manufacturer states that the supplement is "guaranteed to build bone or your money back," the product does not appear to have been tested in any clinical trial. While a handful of the ingredients in this product — including vitamin D₃, calcium, and vitamin K-2 — have some evidence of benefit for bone health, you could end up paying over 10 times as much for this combination supplement compared to buying just these individual ingredients, and you'd be getting numerous other ingredients (such as vitamin C, vitamin K-1, biotin, zinc, copper, boron, vanadium, silica, and strontium) with little to no evidence of benefit for bone health.

Also, be aware that amounts of some of the vitamins and minerals in Perque Bone Guard Forté — including magnesium, manganese, chromium, selenium, and iodine — are greater than what is considered safe when taken on a daily basis.
