Adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
To meet the unique nutritional needs of different people, NBI has created two versions of Osteo-K, the original Osteo-K®formula for those who need more calcium and Osteo-K Minis for those who require less calcium from a dietary supplement. If you're not sure which product is right for you, click here.
In addition to providing calcium (1000 mg/day) and vitamin D3 (2000 IU/day) for bone health, Osteo-K delivers 45 mg of MK4® (menaquinone-4) per day to more closely match the clinical trials.
NBI's MK4 is a form of vitamin K2 derived from Orange Jasmine (Murraya paniculata) leaf geraniol extract. As a nutrient, MK4 has many positive effects on the body. Research on MK4 (45 mg/day taken in divided doses) shows that it builds stronger bones by promoting healthy bone density and bone matrix, which are associated with reducing fracture risk.
Clinical Trials: More than 25 clinical trials involving over 7000 people show that MK4 (45 mg/day in divided doses) maintains strong bones. One meta-analysis of clinical trials concluded that MK4 (45 mg daily) maintains strong bones as indicated by decreasing fractures more than 70% (Cockayne S et al. 2006;166(12):1256-1261).
Another review of the data that evaluated 19 randomized, controlled clinical trials involving 6,759 volunteers reached the same conclusion--MK4 (45 mg/day in divided doses) maintains strong bones as indicated by reducing fractures (Huang ZB et al. 2015;26(3):1175-1186).
Clinical trials published in medical journals document more than 7,000 people taking 45 mg daily (and higher doses) of MK4 for up to eight years without any serious side effects.
CAUTION: People taking the anticoagulant medication warfarin (Coumadin) should not take this product since vitamin K interferes with this medication.
Directions: Take three capsules twice daily with food.
180 capsules per bottle, a 30-day supply

United StatesChanged my life
I’ve been using Osteo-k for a while. It has helped me through severe back pain for years! Then recently I fractured my ankle and my healing time was cut in half. My orthopedic surgeon actually eliminated the need for a boot after my hard cast. I couldn’t be more happy with my results!
United StatesI think it's good
I have used Osteo-K for years. I take it to help ward off osteoporosis. I don't know how someone knows if it's working or not, but I continue to use it and haven't fallen apart yet.

Thank you for your review and for using Osteo-K to help you maintain strong bones and support your health.
United StatesWrong Osteo-K
I ordered the Osteo-K instead of the Osteo-K Minis. How much is the Osteo-K different from the Osteo/K minis for bone health? Thanks for your help! Betsy
NBI
Betsy, the only difference between Osteo-K and Osteo-K Minis is the amount of calcium in each product. Both product still deliver 45 mg MK4 and 2000 IU vitamin D3 per day; however, Osteo-K provides 1000 mg calcium (as calcium citrate) and Osteo-K Minis provides 400 mg calcium (as calcium citrate) per day. Clinical trials using MK4 have provided different doses of calcium. Regardless of whether the volunteers took higher or lower amounts of calcium, the bone health effects appear to be similar. Some people require more calcium as a dietary supplement and some require less. That is why we have two different versions of the product.

I’m 70 and have been taking Osteo-k for about 15 years. I track my Dexa scans and my bone density numbers have generally increased toward the positive side by a few points so I’m a big fan of these supplements. My husband also takes Osteo-k

The component in this calcium supplement allows for absorption and makes a difference in managing bone loss. It was recommended to me by a nutritionist. The only difficulty for me is taking 6 pills a day.
NBI
Thank you for your review. If you want to take fewer capsules, our Osteo-K Minis provides all the nutrients in 4 capsules per day. Both products provide the same amount of MK4 and vitamin D. The only difference is that the Osteo-K Minis delivers less calcium, which allows us to manufacture it in smaller and fewer capsules.
