"Drinking alkaline water with a pH around 9 may help improve bone density in the spine for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, especially when combined with standard osteoporosis treatments. The effect appears to be specific to the spine and may be due to reduced calcium loss and improved mineral absorption. However, more research is needed for broader recommendations, and alkaline water should not replace prescribed osteoporosis therapies."

"Eating 57 grams of Jarlsberg cheese daily has been shown in several clinical studies to increase blood markers associated with bone formation, particularly osteocalcin and vitamin K2. However, while these changes suggest a potential for improved bone health, direct evidence of increased bone density in humans over the short term is not yet available."

Effect Evidence from Studies
Increased vitamin K2 Yes Jarlsberg is rich in vitamin K2
Increased osteocalcin Yes Marker of bone formation
Increased PINP (bone marker) Yes Indicates new bone formation
Direct increase in bone density Not yet proven in short-term studies Longer studies needed to confirm
Unique to Jarlsberg Yes Not seen with Camembert or other cheeses tested
