If you want to be healthy and active as you grow older, osteoporosis is not something you want in your life. Top Tustin chiropractor wants to help you overcome this crippling symptom.

Osteoporosis is a condition where you lose bone mass, making your bones weak and brittle.  Fractures are common.  There are 3 million cases of osteoporosis each year.

A popular website gives all the facts and figures and makes suggestions on how to live with, treat and try to prevent osteoporosis.  One suggestion is to take vitamin D and calcium.

This makes sense because you need calcium and other minerals to build bone.  And vitamin D is key to activating bone growth cells.

BUT…here is what you haven’t heard.  There is another vitamin that is needed to be in good supply for this whole bone growth thing.

Many people are taking vitamin D as recommended by their doctor.  This is good as vitamin D is needed in many critical areas in the body along with bone growth.

Vitamin D & Osteoarthritis in Tustin

When a person takes a good amount of vitamin D, they can use up all their vitamin K2.

Vitamin K2 is needed to complete the bone building steps started by vitamin D.

With a deficiency in K2, all that good vitamin D and Calcium doesn’t build bone inside your body.

Vitamin K2 has several forms with menaquinone-7 being very active and effective.

If you are concerned about osteoporosis in Tustin for you or a loved one then you should be sure to be getting some K2 in your diet.

Check your vitamin D supplement to make sure it has K2 in it (not K1).  If not, get some K2 in your body.

Eat some foods that are high in K2.

Here is a short list:  Egg yolks, Hard Cheese, Chicken Liver, fermented foods such as Natto.

Or take a K2 supplement.  I carry a very high quality K2 supplement at Bunch Chiropractic for my patient’s convenience.

Get your K2 levels up and help your bones be healthy and strong so you don’t have to worry about osteoporosis.

P.S.  Vitamin K2 does more than help build bones.  In short, the right K2 reduces arterial calcification, minimizing the risk of heart attack!
