Timing, Dosing, and Tips to Maximize Your Results
π§ Why Supplements Are the Foundation
The BoneBuilder Protocol starts with clinically-backed nutrients that signal your bones to remineralize, strengthen, and resist fractures. These nutrients amplify the effects of activity, hormone balance, and medications like LDN.
But β they only work if you take them consistently and correctly.
π§° Your Core Supplement Stack

π‘ Pro Tips for Daily Success
β
Keep pills visible β in a 7-day organizer or next to toothbrush/coffee maker
β
Use reminders or apps to stay on track (e.g., Medisafe, CareClinic)
β
Try dividing doses if your stomach is sensitive (especially magnesium, D3)
β
Pair with meals when possible for absorption and consistency
β
For bone broth instead of collagen β aim for 2β3 cups/day, simmered long or use a quality packaged brand

π§ͺ What to Expect
π Month 1β2
- You may notice: better sleep (magnesium), improved digestion, more energy
- Your bone labs (e.g., CTX, vitamin D) start to shift behind the scenes
π Month 3β6
- CTX should trend down (less bone breakdown)
- Vitamin D and K2 reach target levels
- Musculoskeletal resilience improves
π Month 12+
- BMD changes become measurable
- Maintenance dosing may be adjusted
- You may reduce some supplements if lifestyle and labs allow
π« What to Avoid
- Taking too much magnesium (can cause loose stools)
- Taking D3 or K2 without food (fat-soluble = poor absorption without fat)
- Starting all supplements on the same day (space new ones by 2β3 days if needed, add a new one as tolerated)
- Taking calcium (Bone-Up) too close to thyroid meds or iron β separate by 3+ hours
