Your bone health requires injestion of a lot more than calcium/vit D/vit K2. K2 is hard to get through the typical western diet, so get it as a supplementģ) It's always better to get what you need through a healthy diet, not from supplements. This activates a liver protein which directs the calcium to bones and teeth rather than letting it kick around in your bloodstream where it tends to add to arterial plaque, which in turn can increase B/P and risk of heart disease and/or strokes and/or kidney issues.

Supplements delivering the calcium as calcium citrate are a better choice.Ģ) If you take any calcium supplement, add vitamin K2 to your regime.

It's the cheapest but not the most bio-available form of supplemental calcium, especially if you have low stomach acid (surprisingly common for those of middle age and beyond, those with acid reflux, or those regularly taking antacids or proton pump inhibitors such as Nexium). 1) Avoid calcium supplements that deliver the calcium as calcium carbonate.
