Abstract in brief

This updated systematic review examined whether oral vitamin K supplements can help increase bone density and reduce fractures in adults, especially postmenopausal or osteoporotic women, by analyzing 36 randomized controlled trials.
The findings show that vitamin K can significantly lower the risk of any clinical fractures and improve bone mineral density at the lumbar spine, hip, and femur, but the effects are smaller and less clear when accounting for trials with a lower risk of bias.
Overall, while there is some evidence suggesting vitamin K may benefit bone health, particularly in fracture prevention, the results are mixed and not definitive, especially regarding its impact on vertebral fractures or bone density at all body sites.]
