About
Hi, my name is Lee Forester, I'm the founder of Forester Nutrition. I'd like to use this page to tell you a little about the unusual circumstances that led to me starting Forester Nutrition.
In spring 2023 I suffered a paragliding accident during a holiday in Turkey that almost cost me my life. A few seconds after launching from a 1,700 metre mountain, (5,580 feet), a small mistake caused me to crash violently into the rocky slope of the mountain from a height of about 20 meters, (65 feet). I was knocked unconscious by the force of the accident, but my shattered body was eventually carried by friends and a mountain rescue team to a waiting ambulance nearly an hour after the incident.
On arrival at hospital, doctors rushed to use a combination of x-rays, MRI scans and a CAT scan to establish the full extent of my injuries. Aside from the concussion there were a total of 12 different bone fractures around my spine, pelvis and upper right leg! (Details are in the table below for the medically curious).
| Spinal fractures at C3, C4, C5, T12 and L1. |
| Herniated discs at T7-T8, T8-T9, and T9-T10 |
| Right ribs fractured, at ribs 8 and 11. |
| Fractured pelvis at right lateral of the Sacrum, the right Ramus Pubis and the right Iscium. |
| Right leg fractured at the Femoral Neck and a Pertrochanteric fracture of the right Femur. |
Thanks to a huge measure of good fortune only the broken right leg needed operating on, to stabilise the fractures. Two weeks later I was out of hospital, and with the aid of crutches and a wheelchair I was able to return home to England shortly after.
My focus was now on recovery. To ensure the fastest and most complete recovery possible for my fractured bones I went online and looked for tablets designed to aid in the repair of broken bones. I wanted tablets that would ensure my body always had the right vitamins and minerals available to it, in the right concentrations, to enable my body to complete the fracture repair process in the best possible way, and in the shortest possible time. To my incredible surprise no such product existed!
Being a focussed and driven sort of individual, I set out to do something about this, and I'm pretty certain that nobody is as focused on a subject as somebody who is living it. I didn't just want to improve my own fracture recovery experience, but also that of the next person in this position. If a tablet for people wishing to improve their recovery from bone fractures didn't yet exist, then I would have to create it, thus Forester Nutrition Limited was formed.
This quickly led to a complicated and detailed search for information; which vitamins and minerals does your body need available to it, in order to best facilitate bone fracture healing? What is the scientifically proven dose of these vitamins and minerals that your body requires to have full bio-availability? What is the optimum dose for enhanced recovery? What is a safe and approved level that can be repeated daily for the 3 - 6 months recovery time required by most fractures? What is the best way for your body to access these vitamins and minerals?
Months of research followed, consulting the most up-to-date medical papers published on the subject of fracture recovery. Studying the guidelines for vitamin and mineral requirements from all corners of the world, those published by global experts such as the World Health Organisation, (Global), the European Commission, (European Union), the Food and Drug Administration, (USA), the Foods Standards Agency, (UK), and the National Health and Medical Research Council (Australia and New Zealand).
Then after extensive discussions of my findings with osteopathic surgeons, nutritional biologists, physiotherapists and nutritional chemists "BoneFix Ultra" was born - the only nutritional supplement specifically formulated to ensure that you have the full RDA* of all the vitamins and minerals medically proven to be required for bone fracture recovery.
Every aspect has been considered, from the extensively researched formulation, the sourcing of the best available ingredients, the manufacture in the UK to ensure the highest standards, the size and shape of the tablets, to the ideal time to take them for the best bio-availability in your body throughout the full 24 hour period every day that your body is healing itself. (Much more information on all these topics can be found in our Product Data section).
Is it the cheapest supplement available? No, it's not. That's because it's made in the UK from the finest ingredients we can source, to ensure excellent bio-availability and absorption for your body. There are many cheaper places around the globe to make tablets, but we believe the safety, security and peace of mind derived from a British made product is worth that extra cost.
It's not every day that you break a bone, don't you owe it to yourself to recover as fast and as well as possible? Whether you need to recover so that you can return to work, get back to normal family life, or continue enjoying your favourite sports and activities, "BoneFix Ultra" can help you achieve these goals.
Taking this product could increase bone fracture recovery time by as much as 30%, when compared to having sub-optimal levels of these vitamins and minerals.
To our knowledge, it is the only supplement specifically formulated to ensure that you have the full RDA* of all the vitamins and minerals medically proven to be required for bone fracture recovery.
* Magnesium is at 67% of the RDA because it is so plentiful in everyday foods that this amount is deemed sufficient to ensure that almost everybody will fulfil their RDA.
Happy ending: I'm pleased to be able to tell you that today I've made a full recovery, and I still enjoy flying paragliders in my time off.
