Salmon bones Extract

Extracted from salmon bones, researchers have found that salmon bones and tuna bones are rich sources of calcium and phosphorus, containing higher levels of these essential minerals compared to general fish. They can be synthesized into Hydroxyapatite, which is commonly used as a bone substitute due to its ability to promote bonding between materials or medical devices and bone tissue. Hydroxyapatite is also a major component of human bones and teeth.

Therefore, it has been applied in medical fields, such as being used as a drug delivery material for treating bone infections (Al-Sokanee et al., 2009). Research has shown that Hydroxyapatite can be synthesized from animal-derived materials such as cow bones, fish scales, and fish bones (Boutinguiza et al., 2012). In addition to synthesizing Hydroxyapatite from these animal sources, it can also be synthesized from coral (Akram and Ahmed, 2014) and produced through laboratory processes.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite is a form of calcium with a structure similar to the calcium found in human bones and teeth. Therefore, it is believed to help increase bone mass effectively. However, several factors may affect calcium absorption in this form.
