Why bone health is important

The adult human body contains over 200 bones. Together, these bones form a skeleton, which provides a framework for your body. Working together with muscles and tendons, your bones support your ability to sit upright and move. Bones also provide a protective barrier around vital organs, like your ribs forming a cage around your lungs and heart or your skull protecting your brain. They even store important nutrients and minerals that help keep them strong. Bones have valuable roles in your overall health and wellbeing, so they need proper care and nourishment to do their jobs.

How to promote healthy bones

As with many aspects of wellbeing, regular exercise and proper nutrition impact skeletal health. If you’re not getting enough of the right minerals and vitamins for bone health from your diet, a supplement may be able to help you get the nutrient support your bones need.

What to look for in supplements for bone health

Certain vitamins and minerals play important roles in overall skeletal health. When shopping for a bone health supplement, consider the following vitamins and minerals.

Calcium: An essential mineral, calcium promotes healthy bone structure and teeth and plays a role in many other functions throughout the body. Your body needs a certain amount of calcium to support healthy bones but doesn't naturally produce it, so when diet alone doesn’t give you enough, supplements may help.
Vitamin D: Your body can't absorb enough calcium without adequate amounts of vitamin D, which also supports immune function. Fat-soluble vitamin D3 functions as a regulatory steroidal hormone and is the body’s preferred form of vitamin D.
Magnesium: Another essential mineral, magnesium is needed for many reactions throughout the body, including helping the body absorb adequate amounts of calcium.
Vitamin K2: Vitamin K is needed so bone-forming cells can activate a protein called osteocalcin to help bind calcium to bones. Fat-soluble vitamin K2 works with other bone-building nutrients to support strong bones.
Zinc: This mineral supports the chemical reactions of hundreds of enzymes, including those involved in growth and development.
Strontium: Strontium is another mineral that may be important for healthy bones.

Some bone health supplements offer a combination of some of these and/or other ingredients to create formulas that focus on different aspects of bone health, such as mass, strength, and density.
