Older age is harder on the bones, which can become more brittle or suffer from weaker joints. Osteoporosis develops from bone loss and increases people’s chances of breakage. Supplements can help keep them strong and navigate some of the worst symptoms.
Calcium
Many people will have grown up with parents who got them to drink glasses of milk, a rich source of calcium, every morning.
Adults might prefer a cup of tea or coffee, but they will want to keep their calcium high to keep their bones strong, with 99 percent of the mineral stored in the skeleton.
People should try calcium supplements if they have an elevated osteoporosis risk, at least 700 to 1200mg a day.

Vitamin K
Doctors will traditionally give infants a quick boost of vitamin K after being born.
Newborns could suffer deadly bleeding episodes without it, while adults will find their risk of bone fractures increases while their density lowers.
Instead of an RDI, adults should follow the Adequate Intake (AI) of 90mcg for women and 120mcg for men.
DON’T MISS
Magnesium
Magnesium has a vast spectrum of benefits that could help people with conditions ranging from inflammation to depression.
Bones carry approximately 60 percent of the body’s calcium composition.
People under 30 should take approximately 310mg to 320mg of the mineral, and those older should take 400mg to 420mg to maintain that equilibrium.
