• Natto – Natto rich Probiotics content (Bacillus subtilis) is effective against Osteoporosis and hip fractures. Natto contains Vitamin K (a great for healthy Bones).

• Nectarine – Vitamin C (present in Nectarines) helps to produce Collagen (a structural Protein that helps to hold the tissue together and promotes healing after an injury). Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) boosts immunity and helps to Fight Infections, repair cartilage and Bones. Vitamin C also makes up part of a Protein responsible for producing Skin, scars, tissue, Tendons and ligament. Vitamin A (produced from Beta-Carotenes in Nectarine) also builds and maintains healthy Skin, teeth, Bone, tissue, and mucous membranes.

• Onion – Onions have Anti-Inflammatory properties beneficial to Bone Health. Help Fight the pain and swelling associated with Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Contain a naturally occurring chemical which has been found to promote Bone Health and reduce the risk of Osteoporosis. Help build strong Bones as it contain peptide (may help prevent Bone loss by inhibiting the loss of Calcium and other Bone Minerals) that inhibits the activity of osteoclasts (the cells that break down Bones) and Rickets (Osteomalacia).

• Oranges – Oranges contain Calcium (promote strong Bones and teeth) and citric acid which improves Calcium absorption in The Intestine. Vitamin C is an essential factor in the growth and maintenance of the Bones, teeth and cartillage. Oranges also contain Magnesium and Phosphorus.
