- Fat-soluble vitamins Vitamins D and K ensure optimal absorption and metabolization of minerals making up the bone tissue, like calcium and phosphorus. Vitamins A and E increase bone mineral density by improving calcium absorption and assisting in the formation of osteoblasts. As a result, these fat-soluble vitamins allow bones to use as much mineral material as possible to grow.
- Water-soluble vitamins Vitamin C enhances the properties of vitamin D and helps synthesize collagen. Vitamins B6, B9, and B12 protect bone and connective tissue from the toxicity of homocysteine by detoxifying it. Working incoherence, these water-soluble vitamins make bone and connective tissue healthy and durable.

- Macrominerals Calcium and phosphorus are the two major minerals that contribute most to the bone mineral deposit. Magnesium and silica take part in a myriad of metabolic reactions that help bones metabolize minerals and synthesize collagen. As a result, along with collagen, these macrominerals fulfill the role of the construction material for the bone tissue.
- Trace minerals Zinc, copper, and manganese take an active part in the promotion of collagen synthesis, connective tissue formation, and bone mineralization. Sulfur from Dona products, strengthens the connective tissue as well as cartilages in joints and intervertebral discs, protecting them from degenerative processes. Altogether, these trace minerals maximize the fortitude of the entire skeletal system and make it capable of withstanding mechanical stress.
