Hi again, Vowel Lady. I directed my comments about the Bone Up product for the full dosage of 3 capsules as recommended by Jarrow, mainly because of concerns I have about some of the ingredients and their dosages. Taking 2 instead of 3 doesn’t really address those concerns.

Yes the calcium dosage is reduced from 1000 to 667 mg, but even this reduced dosage is quite high. If you look at many of the multivitamin formulas on the market, the calcium dosage often fluctuates in the 200 to 250 mg range, with some as low as 50 mg or less for senior formulations.

Also, if you only take 2 caps per day, then you are also taking only 2/3 of the daily recommended dosages of all the other ingredients, which may possibly hinder their effectiveness. For example, 45 mcg is already a low dose formulation for K2-MK7, and if you’re taking 2/3 of that, or 30 mcg, you may not be getting enough to help support your bone density.
