How Bone is Formed

How Bone Is Formed

The Science Behind Strong Bones

Bone isn’t just calcium — it’s a living, dynamic tissue rebuilt every day through a process called bone remodeling. This lifelong cycle relies on three specialised cells:

• Osteoblasts — the builders that create new bone

• Osteocytes — the maintainers that sense stress and trigger repair

• Osteoclasts — the recyclers that clear old or damaged bone

Every single day, roughly 10% of your skeleton is replaced through this coordinated teamwork.

The Three Essential Ingredients Osteoblasts Need

Osteoblasts don’t simply "deposit" calcium. They build bone with the precision of engineers — and they require three non-negotiable materials:

• Collagen — the flexible structural framework (osteoid) that gives bone its resilience

• Calcium — the mineral that provides hardness and compressive strength

• Phosphorus (phosphate) — partners with calcium to form hydroxyapatite crystals, the rock-solid mineral phase

Miss even one, and bone becomes weak, brittle, or fails to form altogether.

Think of Bone Like Building a House

• Collagen is the steel rebar and framing. Without it, the structure collapses under weight.

• Calcium + phosphorus are the cement and aggregate. Without them, walls crumble like chalk.

Most conventional calcium supplements — even those with Vitamin D — are like supplying cement with no structural framework. Brittle. Weak. Easily fractured.

You’d never build a house with cement alone. Your bones and joints deserve better.

Why Deep Sea Three Is Different

Not just calcium — nature’s complete bone matrix.

Most calcium supplements contain only a single ingredient — usually calcium carbonate or citrate.
That’s like handing your osteoblasts a bucket of cement and expecting a house.

Deep Sea Three, a microcrystalline hydroxyapatite complex, is fundamentally different. It supplies the body with the full, natural blueprint of real bone:

• Calcium

• Phosphorus

• Collagen

• Natural growth factors, proteins, and trace minerals

This structure mirrors human bone so closely that osteoblasts can recognise it, absorb it, and use it immediately to build strong, flexible, fracture-resistant bone.

The Clinically Proven Advantage of Deep Sea Three's Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite Complex

• Mimics real bone composition — your body uses it directly

• Superior support for bone density
  Studies show microcrystalline hydroxyapatite increases bone formation markers more effectively than calcium alone¹

• Better absorption and safety
  No excessive unbound calcium circulating in the blood
  
  

Build Bone the Way Nature Intended

Don’t just take calcium. Give your osteoblasts the complete blueprint they were designed to use.

Deep Sea Three delivers collagen, calcium, and phosphorus in the precise natural structure your bones recognise — and rebuild from.

¹ Research comparing microcrystalline hydroxyapatite to calcium carbonate (e.g., Castelo-Branco et al., Climacteric, 2011) demonstrates superior improvements in bone mineral density and bone-formation markers.
