Bone Health
Vitamin D₃ (2,000 IU), Vitamin K₂ (100 µg), Magnesium (Bisglycinate 90 mg)
• Supports bone density & calcium balance — Endocrine guidelines emphasize sufficient calcium & vitamin D for skeletal health maintenance. endocrine.org+1
• Breast cancer treatments like chemotherapy-induced menopause and ovarian suppression accelerate bone loss; guidelines advocate calcium + vitamin D supplementation to prevent osteoporosis. endocrine.org
• Vitamin K₂ enhances vitamin D’s effect on bone mineralization: meta-analysis shows K₂ improves lumbar spine BMD and reduces fracture risk. PMC9403798
• Higher magnesium intake was associated with higher bone mineral density (BMD) PubMed 34666201
Metabolic & Thyroid Function (Trace Minerals)
Zinc (8 mg), Selenium (50 µg), Iodine (50 µg), Manganese (1 mg), Chromium (100 µg), Molybdenum (45 µg)
• Core enzyme cofactors — Zinc → Cu/Zn-SOD (SOD1) supports cellular antioxidant defense PubMed 29186856
• Manganese → Mn-SOD (SOD2) is the chief mitochondrial ROS scavenger PubMed 22072939
• Selenium → selenoproteins (GPx, TrxR, deiodinases) linking redox control, immunity, and thyroid metabolism PubMed 22072939
• Molybdenum → cofactor for xanthine oxidase, sulfite oxidase, aldehyde oxidase (NIH ODS fact sheet for clinicians).
• Thyroid hormone synthesis (iodine): Iodine is required for T4/T3 production; adult RDA ≈150 µg/day and UL 1,100 µg/day (NIH ODS Iodine).
• Selenium & cancer-relevant outcomes: Higher selenium status is associated with lower overall cancer risk PubMed 26786590. Lower serum selenium/SELENOP relates to worse survival PubMed 33809461, PubMed 29043463.
• Iodine & breast tissue: Clinical studies in fibrocystic breast disease show symptomatic benefit with iodine PubMed 8221402, PMC11700310
Antioxidant & Cellular Protection
Vitamin C (300 mg), EGCG (Green Tea Extract) 400 mg, Lycopene (8 mg), DIM (Diindolylmethane) 150 mg

• EGCG: Large meta-analysis showed potential reduction in breast cancer risk DOI 10.3390/nu10121886; does not alter tamoxifen metabolism PMC7595994; induces apoptosis in ER- cells AACR Study.
• Lycopene: Pro-apoptotic carotenoid; induces cell-cycle arrest in both ER+ and ER- lines PMC4317951, PMC9741066.
• DIM: Supports healthy estrogen metabolism and inhibits proliferation independent of ER status PMC5059820, PubMed 11931841
Immune Function & Wellness (Medicinal Mushrooms)
Turkey Tail, Reishi, Maitake, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Chaga, Oyster (standardized extracts)
