Anyone heard of "Bone Solid?"

Was just browsing and came across this item carried by GNC.  It looks promising, but wanted to get some opinions from the "eagle eyes."  Not looking to change right now, but marking this for future consideration . . . at least it may cut down on the number of pills.  Here's the label:

Those 6 pills would be wayyyyy not enough of ANY of the listed ingredients for me.

Yeah, that's a given.  Six in a day would not do it.

Seems fairly comparable to Bone Up. It takes 6 capsules for 1000 mg. of calcium with Bone Up too. Bone Up doesn't have the Phosphorus. But it does have Boron and Bone Solid doesn't. What is the price like? I just spent $32.99 for 360 capsules of Bone Up.

A bit high . . . $23.99 for 180 capsules.  Where did you get Bone Up for that price?  I haven't ordered online yet, I picked it up at Sevananda, which is a large healthfood store here in Atlanta.

You could try ordering Vitacost Bone Booster online. It is only $16.99 for 240 capsules.
