How Bones + K2 supports strong, healthy bones*
Bone strength depends on minerals, vitamins and daily habits. Bones + K2 brings several of those pieces together in one formula.*
Aquamin® red marine algae minerals*
Aquamin® is a multi mineral complex from red marine algae. It provides calcium, magnesium and over seventy trace minerals in a natural matrix. Animal and early human research suggests Aquamin® may support bone density better than calcium carbonate in some models.* Learn more in published work on Aquamin® and bone health on PubMed .
Vitamin D3 and bone mineralization*
Vitamin D helps the gut absorb calcium and supports normal bone mineralization. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements notes that vitamin D and calcium together help protect against osteomalacia and osteoporosis. You can read the NIH vitamin D overview here .
Vitamin K2 MK‑7 and bone proteins*
Vitamin K activates bone proteins such as osteocalcin. Reviews in the vitamin K and bone health literature describe how K dependent proteins help tie calcium into bone. A three year MK‑7 trial in postmenopausal women showed maintained bone strength in some measures, while other trials are mixed.* See one example here .
The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation emphasizes that many nutrients work together for bone health and that calcium and vitamin D are foundational. Their calcium and vitamin D guide is available here .
Bones + K2 vs basic calcium and D3 only supplements
Many bone supplements stop at calcium or calcium plus vitamin D. Bones + K2 goes further with K2 and multi mineral support.
| Bones + K2 | Basic calcium tablet | D3-only softgel |
|---|---|---|
| Aquamin® marine minerals with calcium, magnesium and over seventy trace minerals from red algae.* | Single mineral source, often calcium carbonate only. No supporting trace minerals. | Vitamin D3 only. No calcium or mineral support for the bone matrix. |
| Includes vitamin D3 plus vitamin K2 MK‑7 for coordinated calcium use in bones.* | May include vitamin D, often no K2. Calcium targeting relies on diet alone. | Supports vitamin D status. Leaves calcium and K intake to food or other pills. |
| Adds magnesium, manganese and boron to support bone formation and mineral balance.* | Usually lacks magnesium and trace minerals or provides small, undefined amounts. | Provides no mineral cofactors at all. |
| Vegetarian capsules, non GMO. Manufactured and tested in our Mt. Angel, Oregon facility. | Source and manufacturing quality are often unclear. | Typically made in large contract plants with limited transparency. |
| Built to stack cleanly with Mt. Angel multis, vitamin D and magnesium for a full bone plan.* | Harder to integrate neatly with other products and target nutrients. | Requires multiple separate products to build a full bone support stack. |
Science spotlight on calcium, vitamin D and K2
The NIH calcium fact sheet explains that calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and that almost all of it sits in bones and teeth. You can read their consumer summary here .
The NIH vitamin D fact sheet notes that vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and that deficiency can lead to thin, brittle or misshapen bones. Their overview is available here .
The NIH vitamin K fact sheet points out that vitamin K is a cofactor for bone proteins like osteocalcin. Some studies link higher vitamin K intake with higher bone mineral density, while others are neutral. You can review that discussion here .
A 2017 trial in Journal of Medicinal Food found that Aquamin® slowed bone loss compared with calcium carbonate in an animal osteoporosis model. A three year MK‑7 study in postmenopausal women reported that MK‑7 may help prevent bone loss, though results in humans remain mixed overall. You can see one MK‑7 trial here .
Bones + K2 is designed to work with diet, exercise and medical care. It supports bone nutrient status. It does not replace diagnosis or treatment for osteoporosis or fractures.*
How to use Bones + K2
Adults typically take Bones + K2 with food, following the serving on the product label or their clinician’s guidance.
Bone remodeling is slow. Many people evaluate their bone plan with their provider over months and years, not weeks. Diet quality, resistance exercise and vitamin D status all matter.*
If you already use separate calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K or mineral products, review your full list with your healthcare professional. This helps keep total intake in a reasonable range and avoids duplication.
Do not use this product to replace prescribed osteoporosis medication unless your doctor directs it. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Where Bones + K2 fits in your Mt. Angel bone support plan
Bones + K2 is your core mineral and K2 foundation. You can build broader support around it with other Mt. Angel formulas.*
- Pair Bones + K2 with Bone Power Strontium when your clinician wants both mineral support and strontium based support for bone density.*
- Use Everyday Liquid Sunshine D3 + K2 or Good Vitamin D alongside Bones + K2 if your provider wants more vitamin D support.*
- Add Good Magnesium in the evening to support muscles, sleep and broader mineral balance.*
- For age specific bases, combine Bones + K2 with Women’s 50+ Multi or Men’s 50+ Multi as advised by your clinician.*
- To dive deeper into the D3 and K2 relationship, read our guide Vitamin D3 & K2 – The Ultimate Guide .
Bones + K2 frequently asked questions
Is Bones + K2 a replacement for my osteoporosis medication?
No. Bones + K2 is a dietary supplement for bone nutrient support. It does not replace prescription treatments or medical care. Always talk with your clinician before changing any osteoporosis plan.*
Do I still need dietary calcium if I take Bones + K2?
Yes. Most experts recommend getting as much calcium as possible from food. Supplements help fill gaps when diet falls short. The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation offers guidance on total daily calcium from food plus supplements. Use their advice with your clinician’s input.
How long should I take Bones + K2?
Bone health is a long term project. Many people use bone support supplements as part of an ongoing plan. Your provider can help you review bone density tests, diet and exercise and decide how long to keep Bones + K2 in your routine.*
Can I use Bones + K2 with blood thinning medication?
Vitamin K2 can interact with certain anticoagulant drugs. If you take warfarin or similar medications, do not use Bones + K2 unless your prescribing doctor has reviewed and approved it. Never adjust medication doses on your own.
