Nutrient Blend Supports Bones

A combination of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins D3 and K1, and compounds from soy

maintained bone mineral density in the thigh bones and reduced the risk of fractures in a group of postmenopausal women

 

Participants took the blend for six months. The study is a positive sign for women at risk for osteoporosis, which is characterized by low bone mass and an increased risk for breaks of the hips, spine, and wrists.

“Because a combination of ingredients was used, it is not possible to determine to what extent the individual components . . . contributed to the observed skeletal benefits,” the researchers wrote in the European Journal of Nutrition.
