Vitamin K and osteoporosis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2013
In a nutshell
Vitamin K is required for bone health, probably in doses greater than conventional RDI levels.
There is reasonable but not conclusive evidence that vit.K supplements can help prevent osteopenic fractures, even if it does not necessarily increase BMD. Vitamin K should therefore be part of the nutritional cocktail for osteporosis prevention.
