Hi,

Saw nutritionist and she said for my bone density issue to get tested for: Vit K1-3, magnesium, calcium, and vit D. All work together for bone growth.

Vit K2 is actually manufactured by colon flora. Seeing as I have no colon flora it would make sense to take a supplement.

ANyone else trying to fine tune these nutrients for bones?

I take Vitamin D with magnesium and calcium. I do not take K and have been tested for it. Apparently K is needed in such minute amounts and I am getting it through foods. I also take a probiotic, good bacteria, for overall digestive health. This has been my regime since surgery 9 years ago.

Thanks Sue,

Is the magnesium and calcium right in the Vit D tablet you take? or are they separate supplements? Rosemary

I take them all in one pill; well 3 pills is the actual daily dosage.
