Vitamin K: This helps direct calcium to your bones. I take two forms of Vitamin K in high doses: 180mcg of vitamin K2 MK-7 (Menaquinone-7) TrueVantage brand and
45,000 mcg (45 mg) of vitamin K2 MK-4 (Menaquinone-4) Life Extension K2 High Potency brand. These high doses are discussed more in a topic in this support group titled: Vitamin K: High Doses of MK-4 and MK-7 Show Promising Results
Collagen as Fortibone: I take a daily powdered collagen supplement that contains Fortibone, which has been shown in studies to help bones. The cheapest brand I found on Amazon is AlgaeCal brand. It's cheaper if you buy two or three at a time. I make a smoothie with it along with some juice, banana, and other fruit. It also contains 11 grams of protein per serving.
Protein powder: Protein is important for your bones so you might want to consider a supplement if your diet doesn't contain enough. I’ve tried Oath Nutrition Clear Whey Isolate Protein Powder. Their Frosty Lemonade is my favorite flavor. Mixed with water it takes like foamy lemonade. I recently purchased Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder, Strawberries & Cream, which I haven’t tried yet.
Prunes: Studies have shown that eating 5-6 prunes a day can help bones.
Magnesium is also important, so I take 300mg of magnesium glycinate/day.
I also take calcium, vitamin D, as well as C, B complex and fish oil capsules. Once calcium supplement I like is Seen Calcium Chews, which gets its calcium from food. Each chew contains 500mg calcium.
