The present invention is a novel method and composition that enhances bone repair, formation and maintenance and slows bone resorption. The present invention relates to methods and compositions for enhancing collagen formation, tendon health and healing of tendon damage, bone maintenance and healing of bone damage, and preventing and treating metabolic disorders. The present invention is part of a therapy for maintaining bone health among patients with diabetic bone resorption and patients with metabolic disorders. In one embodiment, the composition is comprised of hydroxyapatite and a pH-dependent whey protein, ie, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), whey-derived specific protein (MSSP), and whey-derived protein. It is a complex with an organic matrix. [Selection] Figure 18 |
