- Calcium: Help form bones and teeth, assist in the movement of muscles, help with nerve messaging between the brain and body systems, help blood flow as vessels relax and constrict and release hormones and enzymes that support body functions
- Phosphorus: It influences bone growth, apparently by decreasing the absorption of intercellular calcified cartilage matrix by osteoclasts in the metaphyseal region of growing bones, which has the long-term effect of slowing down growth
- Soy isoflavones: Inhibit the synthesis and activity of certain enzymes involved in estrogen metabolism, hence may alter the biological activity of endogenous estrogens and androgens. They have also been found to inhibit tyrosine kinases), enzymes that play critical roles in the signaling pathways that stimulate cell proliferation. Additionally, isoflavones can act as antioxidants.
- Vitamin D3 helps the body absorb calcium essential for the normal development and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones. It also helps maintain proper blood levels of calcium and phosphorus, and also prevents thinning of bones
