The present invention provides formulas of elemental compositions encompassing acetate salts of calcium, magnesium and zinc along with vitamin D 3 . 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 daily administered amount of calcium for promotion of bone health, prevention, and alleviation of osteoporosis in said formulations is about a quarter to a third of the conventional dose for daily ingestion in conventional osteoporosis treatments and prophylactics.
