Vitamin K helps the body use calcium effectively to build strong bones. Vitamin K2 activates proteins that bind calcium to the bone matrix.
Research suggests that a higher intake of K2 may increase bone density and reduce osteoarthritis risk. Both K1 and K2 forms play key roles in bone health.
Additional Joint-Supporting Supplements
Besides collagen, cartilage is made up of compounds like glucosamine and chondroitin.
If you’re dealing with hip osteoarthritis, consider taking glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin regularly, ideally year-round.
These supplements can significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation.
Other powerful supplements include:
- SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine)
- MSM (methylsulfonylmethane, a form of sulfur)
- Turmeric with piperine (1,000–3,000 mg daily)
- Astaxanthin, a potent natural anti-inflammatory
Use these consistently to maintain joint health and reduce inflammation.
