The present invention provides methods of producing dosage forms for formulas of elemental compositions encompassing acetate salts of calcium, magnesium and zinc along with vitamin D3. The acetate salts could be extracted from natural sources such as pearls, coral, and oyster or compounded using synthetic materials. The dosage and ratio of calcium to magnesium was estimated using in vitro and in vivo estimations. The dosage for promoting bone health and alleviation of osteoporosis is about a quarter to a third of the conventional dose.
