Elizabeth 40672, here is part of an article I copied for you.

A vitamin K1, vitamin D3, and calcium combination was found to reduce the lifetime probability of at least one fracture by 20 percent, but adding vitamin K2 to vitamin D3 reduced it by 25 percent

If you currently take calcium and vitamin D for your bones, it’s important that you also get plenty of vitamin K2, as these three nutrients have a synergistic effect on your bone (and overall) health

Thanks. I have been meaning to add vitamin K2 for a while and have now got round to getting some so hopefully will beging to see a difference in my next DEXA scan.
