What is the best type of supplement to take for women's bone and joint health? i'm lactose intolerant so i don't get the calcium from milk
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vit D,A,K,magensium: Milk is overrated as a calcium source-green vegies are the best source (what do the cows eat?).More important than calcium is vit d- everyone needs 5-8000 iu/day in fall & winter, year round if you use sunscreen or don't get mid-day sun.Vit k & vit a work with d. Magnesium & boron also support bone & joint health.See http://www.Lef.Org/vitamins-supplements/top10/bone-health-calcium-supplements.Htm.
