Varies with age: The most important vitamins for your bones are vitamin d and calcium. It is important to get enough but too much can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems. The correct amount depends on age, sex, and pre or post menopause. Your doctor can help advise you on the proper amount for you.

Vitamin D: Several vitamins are important. Vitamin d, which enbles you to absorb caclium. Vitasmin c, to enable collagen to crosslink inside of bone. Calcium, magnesium, and boron, which are minerals, but essential nutrients. All are important for nutritional support if not found in your diet naturally!
