BMD ( bone mineral density) may be easy to
measure, but it is not particularly predictive of fractures,inflammation and other problems, which is the outcome most patients care about.
One overlooked and equally important ( even perhaps of greater importance ) factor is bone flexibility. Collagen levels, B- vitamins, vitamin D-as already been referred to-, vitamin K2 along with osteocalcin status make up the collagen matrix that supports the mineral composition.
