THE OSTEO PRO ADVANTAGE

THE OSTEO PRO ADVANTAGE

Osteo Pro is an advanced, professional grade, plant-sourced calcium and bone support formula exclusively available through healthcare professionals.* The highly specialized plant calcium in Osteo Pro is micronized to ensure optimal absorption by delivering the perfect particle size.* It is a certified organic whole food with over 70 naturally occurring trace minerals and phytonutrients. Since the calcium in this formula is an allnatural, GRAS certified, plant-derived whole food, it does not have the potential negative effects on arterial calcification that non-food based calcium supplements have.*

Osteo Pro SC is an all-natural strontium citrate supplement that is clinically proven to increase bone mineral density when combined with the plant calcium, minerals and bone supporting nutrients found in our Osteo Pro. Strontium, a trace mineral found in seawater and soil, is a mineral with similar properties to calcium. Research has shown that strontium may play a role in the formation of osteoblasts, new bone forming cells, while at the same time slowing the breakdown of old bone by inhibiting osteoclasts.*

The highly specialized plant calcium in Osteo Pro’s AlgaeCal® Select is an all-natural, certified organic and GRAS certified wholefood, with over 70 naturally occurring trace minerals and phytonutrients. These include significant amounts of the bone supporting minerals boron, calcium, magnesium, silica, strontium and vanadium. A recent study commented on the important role that trace minerals play in bone health by stating, “In clinical studies we have demonstrated the efficacy of Ca, Cu, Mn and Zn supplementation on spinal bone mineral density . . . these studies demonstrated the necessity of trace elements for optimal bone matrix development and bone density sustenance.”[1] Foods naturally containing calcium supply these important minerals that direct the calcium into bone, instead of soft tissues like arteries. Since plant calcium is recognized by the body as food, and it contains a full array of trace minerals, it does not have the potential negative effects on arterial calcification that non-food based calcium supplements have.*[2-8]

Our Guarantee to You!

Our Guarantee to You!

Advanced Bone Building Program*

Osteo Pro™ (Plant Calcium) + Osteo PRO SC™ (Strontium Citrate)
will increase bone density in 6 Months or you will receive 100% of your money back!*† 

We are so confident in our Advanced Bone Building Program* that we are offering a 100% Money Back Guarantee.†

The research, clinical studies and results completed allow us to offer a guarantee that no other professional  nutritional company offers.

Program Steps Required for Guarantee:
1. Take a hip and spine DEXA Scan (baseline; to be taken no more than 30 days before you begin this Program).
2. Take the labeled dosage of Osteo Pro and Osteo VS daily for 6 months.

3. Take a second hip and spine DEXA scan at the same clinic as the first one (to be taken no more than 30 days after completion of this Program).

If your DEXA scan results do not show an increase of bone density in either your hip and/or spine after using this program for 6 months, please fill out the Reimbursement Application Form.† 

Our guarantee does not apply to the following situations:

1. Prescription Drug Use – Any prescription drug can lead to increased bone loss.

2. Bisphosphonate Drug Use (such as Fosamax, Actonel, Boniva, etc.) – Stopping use after a period of several months results in poor quality bone which needs to be replaced requiring additional time. If you start this Program, the first 6 months may be dedicated to replacing the poor bone before building regular bone mass.

3. Early Stage Menopause – If you are in the first five years of menopause, your hormone balance may cause a dramatic drop in bone density. While powerful, the Osteo Pro program may not be able to offset the loss. Women in this phase of life are excepted from the Guarantee. IMPORTANT NOTE: Even if you fall into one of the guarantee exceptions, the Osteo Pro program is still recommended. If you are taking medications or are in early menopause, you need every nutritional advantage available.

4. DEXA Scan – The first hip and spine DEXA scan (‘baseline’) must be done no more than 30 days prior to starting this program. The second follow up DEXA scan must be done at the same clinic as your first scan and no later than 30 days after 6 months of following this Program.

In each of the above circumstances, the Advanced Bone Building Program* is still highly recommended as it may reduce bone loss, or may even increase bone density.* Your bones need the building blocks in Osteo Pro and Osteo Pro SC – perhaps even more than individuals whose bones are not affected by medications.* 

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
†All documents to be provided to NuMedica® via your health care practitioner; any guarantee payment reimbursement will also be provided via your health care practitioner. Only documented amounts paid for six months’ worth of formulas will be reimbursed via your health care practitioner; cost of DEXA scans and/or doctor’s visits will not be reimbursed. An increase in either hip or spine bone mineral density is considered a success on this program. Submitting a claim disqualifies the patient from any further program refunds.

Mikania Guaco

“Guaco” is Sun Horse Energy founder Dan Moriarty’s favorite herb, and the reason why he’s still alive. Traditionally, it’s a well-known herb for snake bites, scorpion stings and other venomous creatures. Guaco acts as a non-steroidal bronchodilator, meaning it opens up the airways without steroids. As a result of guaco opening up the airways, the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs) are better able to accept oxygen transfer and get rid of carbon dioxide. In Brazil, Guaco syrup is one of the most popular herbal medicines used to treat the symptoms of asthmatic bronchitis, cough and hoarseness.


Osha Root

A traditional Native American herb, Osha is also known as “Bear Root”. Native Americans noticed that when bears emerged from hibernation, the first thing they did after being in a state of torpor for 4 months was not feast on salmon or drink water, but rather, dig up osha and eat it. Why? It decongests and wakes up the lungs. Native Americans who used Osha were able to run further, and treat their colds and congestion. Modern research studies suggest Osha may support the immune system by offering protective effects against oxidative damage.

I want to thank you for your existence. I want you to know that functional medicine has changed my life, well the life of my autistic son. So much so that I plan on taking the Functional Medicine Health Coach Certificate and work with my new friend who is now a Functional Medicine Doctor from the Institute of Functional Medicine and spread the word on GI testing and how finding the underlying issues will help eliminate autistic traits. 

I hope to be able to meet you one day so I can share this great news with others. Changing my son’s diet has changed him. Food is medicine!! By the way, I’m cooking my rutabaga. I’m Italian and never grew up with these. With love.

Rita Mastrangelo

I found you on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and I’m hooked. I listen to you a couple of hours every morning. I am being tested for celiac disease and have been gluten-free for a couple of weeks. Thank you for all of your insight.

April Renee

Just wanted to tell you that you’re amazing! You are helping so many people all over the world! Including me! Thank you so very much, Dr. Tom O’Bryan!

Patricia Puddle

Good morning Dr. Tom, Would just like to say thank you! This time last year I was going through a hell of a time with my gut. Terrible indigestion on a regular basis, feeling as if I had eaten a boulder and the tiredness was doing my heed (scottish for head) in! With two young girls being tired is not an option!

I went to the doctors on a number of occasions and they decided to prescribe omeprazole to mask the problem, sorry help my problem. I decided taking these drugs was not an option for me! So I started googling the life out of it!! Low and behold you started popping up!! Oh and Gluten intolerance! 

Your advice has been second to none! You have in my case really simplified what gluten does to my body and now that I have cut it out (which as it appears in lots of foods, some I can’t understand) I have found that my symptoms very quickly reduced and now I’m a year down the line they have gone for the vast majority of the time!! For that I’m truly grateful. I now follow you on YouTube and Instagram, which continues to educate me and the importance of gut health. I look forward to your future advice. Yours faithfully,

Gary Christie
