Abstract in brief

  • The study tested how eating extra green leafy vegetables, which are rich in vitamin K1, affects bone health in middle-aged and older adults over four weeks, using a controlled trial with different diet phases.
  • Results showed that increasing vitamin K1 intake from green leafy vegetables significantly lowered serum levels of total osteocalcin (tOC) and undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), indicators linked to better bone mineralization, while control and low-vitamin K1 diets did not produce these changes.
  • The findings suggest that consuming more green leafy vegetables can improve bone quality by enhancing osteocalcin's role in bone matrix formation, potentially leading to stronger bones in middle-aged and older individuals.]
