*increasing the intake of calcium and vitamin D usually increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk for hip fracture dramatically.
* [[Vitamin B12]] : menopausal women who increase their vitamin B12 intake can assist in the maintenance of healthy bones.
* Proper Calcium Mineralization depends upon Vitamin D3 and Vitamin K2: Calcium belongs in our bones, not in our blood. When our vitamin K2 levels are low, calcium collects in our blood and can lead to calcification in our arteries.
* [[vitamin K]] is also beneficial in protecting the bones from fractures and in helping women in their menopausal stage from having unhealthy bones.
* [[Vitamin D]], a fat soluble vitamin, is beneficial in the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body, together with parathyroid hormones. While parathyroid hormones are responsible for reabsorption of calcium and phosphorus during times when the blood is depleted of calcium, vitamin D does the opposite. When there is too much calcium in the blood, vitamin D allows the calcium and phosphorus to combine and be stored in the bone structure, allowing the bone to become much stronger.
