Vitamin D3 and K2 Together Strengthen Spine Bones in Older Women
Dr. Kumar’s Take:
This study adds strong clinical evidence that combining vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 can significantly improve bone density in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. While each vitamin alone helped, using them together had the best results—suggesting a synergistic effect. For aging women at risk of spine fractures, this combo may be a powerful tool for improving bone strength and reducing fracture risk.
Key Takeaways:
✔ Vitamin D3 or K2 alone helped slow or slightly reverse bone loss in the spine.
✔ The combination of vitamin D3 and K2 showed a significantly greater improvement in bone density than either alone.
✔ Calcium alone failed to prevent bone loss and showed a decline in bone density over 2 years.
