Bone Drugs Proven to Cause Poor Bone Quality in Humans

Two studies from the Special Surgery (HHS) and Columbia University Medical Center have confirmed the recent media attention on the extreme dangers to bone from the long-term use of bone drugs (bisphosphonates). The researchers found that after four years of use bisphosphonates had a negative effect on bones causing declining structural integrity of bone. This finding is very important because doctors expect patients to take these drugs for life.

Vitamin K Essential for Bone Density & Bone Quality

Vitamin K is needed to activate a compound within bone called osteocalcin, which in turn attaches calcium to bone in proper three dimensional structure. Using advanced bone-imaging technology researchers have proved that humans with the highest vitamin K intake have the highest bone mineral density and improved aspects of bone strength.
