Abstract in brief

  • The review examined multiple clinical trials and found that supplements of vitamin K (both phytonadione and menaquinone) generally help in reducing bone loss, with most studies showing a positive effect.
  • Meta-analysis of seven trials focusing on fracture prevention specifically indicated that menaquinone significantly decreased the risk of vertebral, hip, and other nonvertebral fractures, especially among Japanese patients.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that vitamin K supplementation can be effective in preventing fractures by reducing bone loss, with the strongest evidence seen in studies involving Japanese populations.

Vitamin K2 can decrease your risk of osteoporosis and fracture. A systemic review and meta-analysis found that vitamin K2 reduced spinal fractures by 60%, hip fractures by 77%, and non-spinal fractures by 81%. https://t.co/7pJ4xBXACj

Nutritional interventions have also shown benefits of MK-4 for bone health. However, there is only strong evidence for pharmacological doses (45mg) of MK-4 being effective. This amount can't really be obtained from dietary sources. https://t.co/4KfKHu22pj
