🦴 Supplements to bone health

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and forms the foundation of bones and teeth. It also plays a role in muscle contraction and nerve conduction. Supplementation is particularly useful for people who eat little dairy or have an elevated risk of osteoporosis.

Vitamin D3 is produced by the skin on sun exposure, but most people in northern Europe get too little for most of the year. It plays a crucial role in calcium absorption for strong bones and supports the immune system, muscle function and energy levels.

Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) ensures calcium ends up in the right place: in the bones rather than the blood vessels. It works synergistically with vitamin D3. Supplementation is particularly relevant for people who eat little fermented food or organ meat.

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body. It helps with muscle contraction and relaxation, energy production, sleep quality and stress regulation. Deficiency is common and can cause muscle cramps, fatigue and sleep problems.
