Effectively maintain bone and muscle mass

THE musculoskeletal system, which includes all muscles, bones and joints in the body, provides form, support and movement. In addition to supporting body weight, bones work with muscles to facilitate body movement.

However, as we age, the body composition changes. Muscle and bone mass decreases, lowering strength and mobility. This may result in higher risk of falling and sustaining bone fractures. Therefore, keeping your muscle and bones strong in early adulthood is crucial to protect mobility and independence in old age.

Protein is an essential nutrient that helps preserve muscle and bone strength by stimulating protein synthesis and calcium metabolism. Besides protein, calcium also has a vital role in maintaining bone structure and providing integrity and density.

Along with nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 help improve bone health. Magnesium and vitamin D3 in combination can facilitate the absorption and utilisation of calcium, while vitamin K2 can help improve bone density by effectively depositing calcium in bones for proper storage, preventing the accumulation of calcium in the arteries.

According to the European Food Safety Authority, vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone and MK-7, is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin K that helps maintain healthy bones.
