Vitamin D
Around 70% of people are deficient in vitamin D, which is vital for your immune system, metabolism, nerves, and especially for bone, joint, and cartilage health.
Without enough vitamin D, these tissues break down more rapidly.
Aim for 30–60 minutes of sun exposure daily, or supplement through food or vitamins if you spend most of your time indoors.
Vitamin K (especially K2)
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.
