Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
creatine	early studies examining the effect of creatine in aging suggest that creatine may increase bone density when combined with resistance training. further studies in which creatine alone is compared with placebo are needed.	c
dhea	the ability of dhea to increase bone density is under investigation. effects are not clear at this time.	c
phosphates, phosphorus	early research shows that high amounts of phosphorus may have negative effects on bone density. this is because phosphorus decreases bone formation and increases bone resorption.	c
