100% AUSTRALIAN GRASS FED AND FINISHED
Complete calcium supplement for home-made diets

Best described as natures calcium, Replace-A-Bone is sourced from 100% organic beef bones and contains the ideal physiological ratio of calcium and phosphorus in a microcrystalline structure that enhances absorption and bioavailability. Unlike synthetic calcium supplements, Replace-A-Bone also contains naturally occurring growth factors, glycosaminoglycans, collagen, essential trace minerals, and bone stimulating peptides that nourish and support the whole skeletal system for strength, flexibility, and remineralisation of bones.

Targeted bone support
Whole food source
Superior bioavailability
Suitable for puppies
Sourced from ethically raised beef

Proudly Australian owned and made using 100% human-grade ingredients.
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

DESCRIPTION

• Meat is rich in phosphorus but contains very little calcium, so an all-meat diet will be deficient in calcium, making it critically important to add calcium back in.
• But when it comes to puppies, even an all-meat diet does not provide sufficient phosphorus for the rapid puppy growth stages, makingReplace-A-Bonethe perfect choice for all life stages.
• Replace-A-Boneprovides the correctamounts of both calcium and phosphorus necessary for stronger bones, for increased bone mass index, to help avoid fractures and for improved dental health.
• Replace-A-Boneis made from whole bone, which containsthe ideal physiological ratio of calcium and phosphorus in a microcrystalline structure that enhances absorption and bioavailability.
• Apart from fresh bones,Replace-A-Boneis the only source of calcium that should be fed to puppies and pregnant dogs.
• Replace-A-Bonecontains bone stimulating peptides (IGF I & II, TGF , Osteocalcin). Peptides are tissue-specific information molecules which influence gene expression. Peptides start the process of protein synthesis in cells and regulate proper cellular functioning. As our dogs age and are impacted by several different stressors (environmental toxins, poor nutrition, stress, etc.) they are no longer able to form new peptides at the same rate as during their youth. Deficiency of these nutrients results in cellular dysfunction, degenerative diseases, accelerated ageing, and bone loss. One of the most effective ways to counter this deficiency is the consumption of bone specific peptides.
• Replace-A-Bonecontains calcium from microcrystalline hydroxyapatite (MCHA). MCHA from whole bone is considered to be more effective than standard calcium supplements in maintaining bone mass in human populations. In addition, it is suggested that MCHA improves pain symptoms and accelerates fracture consolidation in patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis and is significantly more effective in preventing bone loss than calcium carbonate.

INGREDIENTS

Freeze-dried, 100% Australian grass-fed and finished beef whole-bone

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1 tsp = 5 grams

Adult dogs (> 12 months of age)

If feeding dogs an amount of food based on percentage body weight:

Adult dogs Add 2 tsp per 500 g of lean meat (85 – 90% lean)* Puppies Add 3 tsp per 500 g of lean meat (85 – 90% lean)*

* Approximately per 1,000 calories fed

If feeding adult dogs based on average calorie requirements according to body weight:

Adult body weight < 9 kg 10 – 25 kg 26 – 40 kg >40 kg Dose 1 tsp 2 tsp 3 tsp 4 tsp

Puppies (<12 months of age)

Puppy body weight < 7 kg 8 – 15 kg 16 – 25 kg > 26 kg Dose 2 tsp 3 tsp 4 tsp 5 tsp

Or as recommended by your animal healthcare professional.

CAUTIONS

You do not need to use Replace-A-Bone if:

You are already feeding a complete and balanced commercial food that contains calcium. Providing additional calcium in these instances could be detrimental to health.

You use a supplement or base-mix that is designed to make a home-made diet complete and balanced i.e. Balance IT.

You are feeding whole raw bones that can be completely consumed on a regular basis (i.e. daily or every second day).
