Vitamin K for Healthy Bone

Posted by Whole Health Web Admin | Aug 28, 2017 | Bone Health, Research Articles, Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements | 0 |

Research published in Bone (E-published ahead of print, April 4, 2011) examined the relationship between vitamin K status and bone mineral density in 365 elderly adults. This cross-sectional study found that:

Higher dietary vitamin K intake was significantly associated with higher bone mineral density.
Subjects with greater vitamin K consumption experienced less bone loss over time.

The findings suggest that increasing vitamin K intake may help protect against age-related bone loss, although more research is needed to confirm whether supplementation has the same effect.
