What the research says about Ortho Minerals' vitamin D3 and 13 minerals
Peer-reviewed studies and reviews on the minerals and vitamin D3 in this formula - shared for education, not as claims about this finished product. Ortho Minerals' own claims are the statements authorized under its Natural Health Product licence, NPN 80022704.
Vitamin D's central role in absorbing calcium from the diet
A review describes how the active vitamin D hormone (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) binds intestinal vitamin D receptors to regulate calcium absorption - a pathway essential for bone mineralization and reduced with menopause and aging.
ReviewA foundational review of vitamin D across calcium, bone and muscle
A physiology review traces how vitamin D3, once activated in the liver and kidney, regulates intestinal calcium absorption, bone mineralization and muscle cell function, and describes the risk factors - low sun exposure, aging, malabsorption - that commonly lead to insufficiency.
ReviewVitamin D status affects the absorption of more than just calcium
A preclinical study in rats found that vitamin D insufficiency reduced intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate and lowered bone retention, while magnesium absorption was comparatively less affected - illustrating vitamin D's broad, though selective, influence on mineral uptake.
Animal studyMeta-analysis: magnesium intake and bone mineral density in older adults
A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort and cross-sectional studies found a significant positive association between higher magnesium intake and hip bone mineral density in adults 60 and older, though evidence linking magnesium specifically to fracture risk remains limited.
Meta-analysisA 2025 review of the nutrients that matter most for bone health
A review of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium and phosphorus in skeletal metabolism found the evidence for calcium and vitamin D reducing bone loss and fracture risk to be the most consistent, while magnesium and phosphorus's roles are important but less extensively studied in clinical trials.
ReviewSilicon concentrates in bone and connective tissue and declines with age
An analysis of rat tissues found silicon concentrated up to 50-fold higher in bone and connective tissue than in non-connective tissues, with the highest levels in young, actively growing animals - tracking the pattern of collagen turnover and supporting silicon's proposed role in bone and connective tissue development.
Animal studyA scientific review of chromium's role in insulin action
A review describes chromium as an important cofactor for insulin activity, noting that people with type 2 diabetes tend to have lower blood chromium levels, and that chromium picolinate supplementation studies have shown improved insulin sensitivity, particularly in overweight individuals.
ReviewMolybdenum's essential enzyme roles in metabolism
A review describes molybdenum-containing enzymes, including xanthine oxidase and sulfite oxidase, as essential for purine catabolism and the breakdown of sulfur-containing amino acids, underscoring molybdenum's classification as an essential trace element for human metabolism.
ReviewHow vanadium compounds interact with insulin signaling
A review of vanadium's biochemistry describes how vanadium compounds inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatases and interact with several nodes of the insulin signaling pathway - research on vanadium's mechanisms generally, studied mostly at pharmacological doses far above this product's 18 mcg trace amount per serving.
ReviewZinc as a gatekeeper of immune cell signaling
A review describes zinc's role in regulating intracellular signaling pathways across innate and adaptive immune cells, outlining the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms underlying zinc's well-documented importance for immune function.
ReviewCopper's essential roles beyond antioxidant enzymes
A review of copper as an essential nutrient describes its documented roles in infant growth, host-defense mechanisms, bone strength, red and white blood cell maturation, and iron transport, and the anemia and neutropenia associated with acquired copper deficiency.
ReviewSelenium and iodine are both essential for making thyroid hormone
A review explains that iodine, selenium and iron are all required for normal thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolism - iodine as the raw material incorporated into thyroid hormone, and selenium-dependent enzymes protecting the thyroid gland from the oxidative byproducts of that process.
ReviewAn overview of boron's wide-ranging roles in the body
A review of the trace mineral boron describes its documented roles in bone growth and maintenance, wound healing and magnesium absorption, noting no adverse effects have been shown at intakes below boron's 20 mg/day upper intake level.
ReviewA narrative review supports 3 mg/day of boron for bone health
A narrative review of 11 human studies (594 subjects total) evaluating boron supplementation's effect on bone health through calcium, vitamin D and sex-hormone metabolism concluded that 3 mg/day - well under boron's upper intake level - supports healthy bone mineral density.
ReviewBoron interacts with calcium and other minerals in metabolism
A review of boron in nutrition and metabolism found that manipulating dietary boron produced measurable changes in mineral metabolism, particularly calcium, and in steroid hormone concentrations, supporting boron's role as a metabolic regulator rather than an isolated nutrient.
ReviewPotassium and magnesium losses tracked with muscle changes after surgery
A clinical study of postoperative patients found that inadequate parenteral nutrition led to measurable losses of extracellular potassium and reduced muscle potassium content - direct evidence for potassium and magnesium's roles in maintaining lean muscle tissue.
Human clinical studyMagnesium supplementation reduced exercise-induced muscle soreness
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that 10 days of magnesium supplementation (350 mg/day) significantly reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness after eccentric exercise, and improved subjects' perceived recovery, compared with placebo.
Human RCTA magnesium-sensing channel links mineral status to nerve and heart function
A review of the TRPM7 ion channel, which doubles as a cellular magnesium-homeostasis regulator, describes its documented roles in neuronal and cardiovascular cell signaling - one molecular mechanism for magnesium's broad importance to the nervous system.
ReviewWhy excess potassium is a genuine cardiovascular concern
A clinical review of hyperkalemia (elevated blood potassium) describes how progressively higher potassium levels disrupt normal heart rhythm and, left untreated, can be dangerous - the clinical rationale behind cautions against combining multiple potassium-containing supplements.
ReviewAn honest look at calcium and magnesium supplements' cardiovascular safety
A narrative review of calcium, magnesium and strontium found no convincing mechanism linking calcium supplementation (combined with vitamin D) to adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and found dietary magnesium intake associated with protective, not harmful, cardiovascular effects.
ReviewA clinical guideline for monitoring micronutrient safety and toxicity
A comprehensive clinical nutrition guideline covering 26 vitamins and trace elements, including chromium, manganese, molybdenum and selenium, outlines recommended monitoring practices and toxicity thresholds for each - the kind of dose-conscious framework multi-mineral formulas are designed within.
Clinical guidelineTen metals your body cannot function without
A review identifies sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium alongside manganese, iron, cobalt, copper, zinc and molybdenum as the metals currently considered essential for human biology, describing the cellular homeostatic mechanisms that keep each in careful balance.
ReviewMagnesium's role across more than 300 enzymatic reactions
A comprehensive review describes magnesium as a required cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including energy production (converting ATP to ADP), calcium-channel regulation affecting nerve transmission and muscle relaxation, and protein and DNA synthesis.
ReviewDecades of trace element research, and what's still ahead
A historical review from two veteran trace-element researchers traces how the field established safe and essential intake ranges for trace elements over recent decades, and outlines the analytical advances still needed to refine our understanding of essentiality and safety.
