Bone Support 60c by Dr. Mercola – Bone Maintenance Mineral Supplement
Bone Support capsules by Dr. Mercola combine strontium, manganese, silica and boron in an adult mineral supplement. This 60-capsule formula pairs strontium citrate with chelated trace minerals and Living Silica®, rather than supplying calcium or vitamin D. It offers a targeted addition to a practitioner-guided bone maintenance routine, not a replacement for foundational nutrition.
Key Bone Support 60c Benefits
- Provides manganese to support normal bone formation through the enzymes that help build and maintain skeletal tissue.
- Supports normal nutrient metabolism with manganese, connecting everyday nourishment with the body's ongoing bone maintenance needs.
- Supplies strontium, silica and boron alongside manganese in a focused mineral formula that complements, rather than replaces, calcium and vitamin D intake.
How Bone Support 60c Works
Bones contain both a mineral component and a protein framework, or bone matrix. Normal maintenance involves renewing this living tissue. Manganese helps enzymes carry out bone formation and nutrient processing. The other minerals have different biological properties; they are not interchangeable with calcium, and adding them does not remove the need for adequate protein, calcium and vitamin D.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Strontium: Can become incorporated into bone mineral alongside calcium. This physical property does not make it a calcium replacement. Strontium can also raise DXA bone-density readings independently of actual bone strength, so tell your scanning clinician about its use.
- Manganese: Supports normal bone formation by activating enzymes involved in building skeletal tissue. It also helps process carbohydrates and amino acids, linking the nutrients you eat with normal cellular activity. This formula supplies manganese as a bisglycinate chelate.
- Silica: Supplies silicon as Living Silica® Monomethylsilanetriol (MMST). Silicon occurs in bone and connective tissues. Its precise biological role in humans is not fully defined; the presence of this ingredient should not be interpreted as a promise of stronger bones.
- Boron: Is a dietary trace element associated with mineral metabolism, including the body's handling of calcium and magnesium. It is not classified as essential for humans, and a daily requirement has not been established. Here it is supplied as an amino acid chelate.
Bone Support 60c Is Formulated For
- Adults considering a targeted mineral addition to an established bone-health nutrition plan with their healthcare practitioner.

Additional precautions: Have a clinician review strontium use if you have kidney problems or a clotting disorder, and manganese intake if you have liver disease or iron deficiency. Strontium can interact with quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics, antacids and estrogens. Ask a pharmacist about medication and calcium-supplement timing. Inform your clinician before DXA scanning; a higher reading does not necessarily mean stronger bones. Do not assume this formula has the effects or safety profile of prescription strontium products.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bone Support 60c
What are the benefits of Bone Support 60c?
Bone Support 60c supplies manganese for normal bone formation and nutrient metabolism, alongside strontium, silica and boron. Each two-capsule serving provides 2 mg manganese, 500 mg strontium, 3 mg silica and 3 mg boron. Its distinguishing feature is this targeted mineral combination rather than calcium or vitamin D. It can be considered within a practitioner-guided nutrition plan, but should not be taken as a guarantee of improved bone strength or a substitute for adequate dietary calcium, protein and vitamin D.
Who should take Bone Support 60c?
The manufacturer's directions are for adults: take two capsules daily as a dietary supplement. This formula is an option to discuss with your healthcare practitioner when considering additional minerals alongside an existing bone-health routine. Because it supplies strontium, anyone having bone-density scans should tell the clinician interpreting those scans. People who are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a medical condition need physician guidance before use. It is not a children's calcium supplement, and its minerals do not replace calcium or vitamin D.
Are there any side effects of taking Bone Support 60c?
The label states: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT USE IF SAFETY SEAL IS BROKEN. IF YOU ARE NURSING, PREGNANT, TAKING MEDICATION OR HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE TAKING THIS PRODUCT. Additional precautions: Strontium requires review with kidney problems or clotting disorders and can interact with quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics, antacids and estrogens. Liver disease or iron deficiency can increase manganese-related concerns. Ask a pharmacist about medication and calcium timing. Strontium also affects DXA readings; do not interpret a higher reading as proof of stronger bones.
How does Bone Support 60c support overall health?
Its nutritional focus is skeletal maintenance rather than broad whole-body supplementation. Manganese helps enzymes involved in bone formation and the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids. Strontium can enter bone mineral, while silica supplies silicon and boron is associated with mineral handling. These ingredients have distinct roles and limitations; they do not make this a complete bone-health plan. Balanced meals with adequate protein and calcium, appropriate vitamin D intake and suitable weight-bearing activity remain important alongside any decision to use Bone Support.
