What sets DRV+ apart

Many bone supplements stop at calcium plus vitamin D. Your bones need more. The whole bone matrix is collagen (the structure) with minerals embedded in it. If you only provide minerals, you're building on a weak foundation.

OsteoFriend® follows the whole bone matrix. High-absorption calcium, magnesium, vitamins D3 and K2. Vitamin C and L-lysine to fuel your body's own collagen formation. In powder form so you get evidence-based doses in one daily serving.

KEY FEATURES

  • 740mg calcium, 320mg magnesium, 1,000IU vitamin D3, 100µg vitamin K2 clinically proven to support the maintenance of bones.
  • L-lysine (500mg) and Lactobacillus reuteri for absorption and nutrient delivery.
  • 500mg vitamin C for collagen formation in bones and cartilage.
  • MSM for natural sulphur, with curcumin, boron and bamboo silica.
  • Zinc, manganese and copper for bones and connective tissue.
  • BioPerine black pepper for absorption.

THE BACKDROP

In our study of 343 women, 88% knew bone health is at risk after menopause and 77% were concerned about it.

  • Yet 42% rarely or never do weight-bearing exercise, the single most protective activity for bone health.
  • 38% had taken a collagen supplement for their bones. Your body breaks collagen down into amino acids, which is why OsteoFriend® supplies vitamin C and L-lysine to fuel your body's own collagen formation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Take for at least 2 months. The cycle by which old bone is replaced runs over months. Weight-bearing exercise alongside OsteoFriend® does more than either alone.

This is a well-rounded, professional-grade supplement designed for bone, joint, and muscle support. A strong foundational supplement for someone looking to support musculoskeletal health, especially in conjunction with a nutrient-rich diet and weight-bearing exercise.

Julia Young

This is an excellent all-round supplement for bone and joint support. The formulation provides not just calcium and vitamin D, but also the key cofactors that help your body actually use these nutrients effectively. I would recommend this to my clients for long-term bone health.

Sarah Trimble

I find the OsteoFriend formulation really exceptional in that it provides many nutrients that are essential for good bone health but often overlooked in many bone support formulations (such as vitamin K and boron) and I'm also really excited about the inclusion of L Reuters probiotic strains included here.

This is a thoughtful and comprehensive formula that goes beyond just calcium and vitamin D by addressing the multi-factorial nature of bone health in perimenopause. With high-quality forms of the key minerals and attention to dosing strategy, this is a great combination for skeletal health at midlife — especially when coupled with an antioxidant-rich, nutrient-dense diet and lifestyle modifications.

I am extremely impressed with OsteoFriend. 1 teaspoon a day provides all the necessary requirements for optimal bone health. Unlike many of the other bone support nutrients OsteoFriend contains no artificial sweeteners, flavours, preservatives or bulking agents. I highly recommend this excellent product.

I’m 54 and have been a Physio for nearly 30+ years. I badly fractured my femur in January in a skiing accident, was helicoptered off the mountain and had major surgery in Italy. I found out in hospital I had really low Vitamin D and, more recently, I've discovered I have osteopenia. So, despite doing all my strength and loading exercises to maintain bone density, I was fighting a losing battle. When recovering at home I realised I needed to take my supplement routine much more seriously. I now take OsteoFriend daily and highly recommend it because it's so comprehensive for bones and joints, and it's easy to take rather than swallowing lots of different tablets. I either put it in my morning yogurt or just swig it with some water as it doesn’t really taste of anything.

The proof is in the praise

Still have questions?
We’ve got answers.

Can I mix OsteoFriend® into hot foods / drinks?

No, we recommend mixing it into cold drinks or sprinkling it onto cold or lukewarm food. This is because OsteoFriend® contains probiotics, which are sensitive to heat.

What makes OsteoFriend® different rom other bone and muscle support supplements?

OsteoFriend® is the most comprehensive formula to help support strong, healthy bones. It contains 19 optimal ingredients, including calcium, magnesium vitamin D3, vitamin K2, curcumin, live cultures and more.

Can I take OsteoFriend® long-term?

Yes, we recommend taking OsteoFriend® long-term. Looking after bones is a lifelong commitment. 

How does OsteoFriend® support The Royal Osteoporosis Society?

We give 50p to The Royal Osteoporosis Society for every pack of OsteoFriend®, helping improve the lives of people affected by osteoporosis, and supporting research into bone health.

What are the best supplements to take for osteoarthritis?

Lots of vitamins and minerals support healthier bones, the absorption of nutrients into bones, the delivery of nutrients into bone tissue, and the development of bone mass. Calcium, magnesium, MSM, omega 3, vitamins C, D3 and K2, and botanicals including turmeric can all support healthy bones and joints.

Which vitamin is good for bones and muscles?

Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3 are essential for bones and muscles. OsteoFriend® contains these vitamins and minerals as well as many other proven nutrients to support bone health.

Which magnesium is best for bones and muscles?

Both magnesium citrate and glycinate are great for bones. The citrate portion of magnesium citrate alkalises tissues, which leads to a higher level of calcium retention, while the glycine portion of magnesium glycinate enhances absorption of calcium.

What supplements are good for bone health?

OsteoFriend® provides unrivalled support for bones, muscles, and joints, with 19 active nutrients and cofactors supporting bone density, bone tissue and connective tissue. OsteoFriend® includes optimal doses of calcium, magnesium, vitamins D3 & K2, Curcumin, MSM, amino acids, and 2 billion live cultures (probiotics).

Can supplements improve bone and joint health?

Yes. There are several nutrients that have been proven to support bone and joint health. Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, and vitamin K2 takes the calcium into the bones. Vitamin C is needed for the collagen in both the bones and joints. Collagen is needed to help keep minerals in the bones and contributes to bone strength. In joints, collagen is needed as part of the lining of the joints. Some botanicals can also help reduce inflammation and support bone and joint health.
