To explore vitamin K2's effect on osteoporosis, we conducted a thorough analysis of nine studies involving 6,853 participants.
The findings suggest that vitamin K2 significantly improves bone mineral density (BMD) and reduces certain bone markers.
While there were increased adverse reactions, they were not serious. Overall, this suggests that vitamin K2 can be a beneficial and safe option for postmenopausal women managing osteoporosis.

Vitamin K2 may support bone health
We delved into the effects of vitamin K2 on postmenopausal osteoporosis by reviewing data from 16 randomized controlled trials with over 6,400 participants.
Our analysis revealed that vitamin K2 supplementation positively influences bone mineral density, particularly in the lumbar spine, and can potentially lower fracture rates.
However, while we noted improvements in bone density, the overall difference in fracture incidence was not consistently significant. Importantly, vitamin K2 seems to reduce certain serum markers without increasing adverse reactions, making it a promising option for maintaining bone health in postmenopausal women.

It worked for me! In August 2016, my doctor told me I had advanced osteoporosis. After researching the prescribed medicine and being frightened by the side effects, I began taking Garden of Life Raw Calcium. I stopped taking omeprazole and took two calcium tablets daily. Nine months later, my doctor did a scan and was amazed. He said my severe osteoporosis had reversed, and I was only in osteopenia! Incredible!

It really worked when combined with exercise. After being diagnosed with osteoporosis in my lumbar spine at 57, I tried this calcium supplement. For two years, I took three capsules daily and combined this with strength and aerobic exercise. I recently had my DEXA scan, and my T-score improved from -2.7 to -1.5! I was amazed by the results! I plan to keep up the effort to hopefully reverse even the osteopenia over the next few years.

I will always take this product. I had osteoporosis, and after starting it, my condition began to improve within months. After two years, my bone density tests were normal. When I tried to stop and switched to regular calcium, I developed osteopenia, so I resumed this and returned to the normal range. No other calcium compares to this one.

Our research explored the effects of a new calcium-loaded complex, made from Antarctic krill protein and enriched with pectin, on calcium absorption and bone health in mice with calcium deficiency. We created a model that simulated calcium deficiency, which is a significant concern as it can contribute to osteoporosis.
We observed that chronic calcium deprivation led to decreased calcium absorption and deterioration of bone structure. However, the P + Ca + HMP complex significantly improved calcium retention and increased the strength of the femur, indicating a positive impact on bone health.
Additionally, this complex improved the structure of the trabecular network, which is essential for maintaining strong bones. The presence of beneficial bacteria in the gut also rose after the intervention, and these were linked to better calcium absorption and bone synthesis. Overall, these findings point to the potential of the P + Ca + HMP complex as an effective calcium supplement that could help prevent calcium deficiency and thus support bone health.

We explored how salmon calcitonin (sCT) works in tandem with calcium antagonists—specifically verapamil, nifedipine, and diltiazem—to influence blood calcium and phosphorus levels in female rats with osteoporosis post-ovarian removal.
The study involved a systematic approach where we administered these combinations to different groups of osteoporotic rats and measured their blood levels. Our findings revealed that combining sCT with nifedipine had a particularly strong effect in lowering both calcium and phosphorus in the blood, outperforming the use of sCT alone.
Our analysis indicated that while sCT with nifedipine was most effective, the combinations with verapamil and diltiazem also showed beneficial effects, albeit to a lesser extent. These insights provide valuable information on how combination therapies might be targeted for treating postmenopausal osteoporosis, potentially paving the way for more effective treatment options in human patients.

We explored how a specific probiotic strain, FSHHK13M1, affects vitamin D metabolism and osteoporosis in mice. Previous research pointed out that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in vitamin D metabolism, which is especially relevant for older adults who tend to suffer from osteoporosis due to declining organ functions.
Our study demonstrated that treating the mice with FSHHK13M1 led to a significant increase in their serum levels of active vitamin D metabolites, particularly 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D. This increase was linked to activation of important bone health pathways, helping to fortify bone structure and function.
Not only did we observe improvements in vitamin D levels, but the intervention also restored balance in the gut microbiota, which showed signs of imbalance in mice suffering from osteoporosis. The findings suggest that FSHHK13M1 could be a promising direction for improving bone health and reducing fracture risks in the elderly by enhancing vitamin D levels naturally.
Overall, this research highlights the potential of combining probiotics with vitamin D strategies for better management of osteoporosis, especially in older populations who often face challenges absorbing conventional treatments.

We conducted a thorough review of various treatments for osteoporosis in people living with HIV, particularly focusing on the role of calcium. Our analysis included randomized controlled trials that compared different treatment strategies, such as calcium combined with medications like zoledronate or alendronate.
While zoledronate showed promising results in improving bone mineral density, calcium was often used alongside these treatments. Unfortunately, this combination makes it difficult to isolate the specific effects of calcium on osteoporosis. We found that alendronate, although it helped reduce certain bone turnover markers, did not significantly improve bone density.
Overall, the study indicates that while calcium plays a role in treatment combinations, its isolated impact on osteoporosis remains unclear. We emphasized the need for more focused research to determine calcium's true effectiveness in enhancing bone health for those affected by HIV.

Calcium's risks for kidney stones
We explored the effects of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on osteoporosis, particularly focusing on the risk of kidney stones. In our study, 204 older adults in southwest China took daily doses of calcium and vitamin D for at least a year. We used various statistical analyses to understand the relationship between these supplements and kidney stone formation.
Our findings reveal that there is a potential link between the use of calcium supplements for osteoporosis and an increased risk of developing kidney stones. It seems that a history of kidney stones can elevate the likelihood of experiencing them again while undergoing such supplementation, likely due to higher urinary calcium levels.
While calcium is essential for bone health, our results suggest that patients need to be cautious. This research highlights the importance of monitoring kidney health while receiving calcium and vitamin D treatment to prevent complications like kidney stones.

We aimed to understand how vitamin D influences bone health and helps combat osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones. In our study, we used various mouse models, including those that mimic a deficiency in active vitamin D. Through a range of advanced methods, we assessed how changes in vitamin D levels affected bone structure and metabolism.
The research revealed that insufficient vitamin D led to a drop in Sirt1, a gene that plays a crucial role in maintaining bone density. This lack of Sirt1 resulted in increased bone loss. However, when we boosted Sirt1 levels in bone stem cells, we observed a reversal in bone loss. This improvement happened because higher Sirt1 levels reduced oxidative stress, slowed down aging processes in bone cells, and enhanced new bone formation while curbing bone resorption.
Additionally, our findings indicated that vitamin D directly stimulates Sirt1 expression in these stem cells, which is vital for bone health. We also explored the effects of resveratrol, a natural compound known for activating Sirt1, and found it helped alleviate osteoporosis symptoms linked to vitamin D deficiency by enhancing the relationship between Sirt1 and another protein called PGC1α, which supports bone formation and energy metabolism.
This research underscores the importance of the vitamin D-Sirt1/PGC1α axis in bone metabolism, providing insight into how vitamin D can serve as a target for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.
