Bone-Up ( Calcium, Boron, Glucosamine and MK-7 (aka K2)). Regular, weight-bearing exercise and a healthy diet with adequate calcium, including from BONE-UP helps teen and young adult women build bone mass and maintain bone health and may reduce their risk of osteoporosis later in life. Daily calcium intake above 2,000 mg is not likely to provide additional benefit. Adequate calcium intake is also linked to reduced osteoporosis by slowing bone loss in older men and women.

Vitamin K2 (aka MK-7) found in natto, has been shown to reduce bone loss in women by as much as 80%
OsteoPrime-Forte - 120 UltraCaps - PhytoPharmica. Formulated by Jonathan Wright, M.D. & Alan Gaby, M.D.
Bone is active, living tissue. Healthy bones need various nutrients to preserve adequate mineral mass, maintain strong supporting structures, and promote repair functions. Calcium is important- more than 99% of the body's calcium is found in the bones and teeth. But the body also needs vitamin D to use calcium and phosphorus.† Magnesium activates enzymes that help form new calcium crystals. Vitamin K aids the production of osteocalcin, the supporting structure on which calcium crystallizes in bone.† Manganese aids in bone mineralization and connective tissue synthesis.† Studies show zinc, strontium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, silicon, copper, and boron also help form the connective structures in bone.† OsteoPrime® Forté, formulated by Jonathan Wright, M.D., and Alan Gaby, M.D., provides a balanced combination of these nutrients to support and maintain healthy bones.†
Strontium Bone Maker 340 mg, 60 Veggie Caps - Doctor's Best. Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral present in water and food. Trace amounts of strontium are found in the human skeleton. Strontium has an affinity for bone and is taken up at the bone matrix crystal surface. The influence of strontium on bone metabolism has been researched since the 1950’s.1 Recent studies show that strontium positively affects bone metabolism to promote bone formation and decrease bone resorption, leading to normalized bone density. Strontium citrate supplies strontium that is safe and suitable for consumption as a dietary supplement. (This form strontium is entirely different from the radioactive “strontium-90” formed by nuclear fission.)
Super K with Advanced K2 Complex - 90 Soft Gels - Life Extension.
An abundance of human clinical data reveals that vitamin K plays a critical role in maintaining healthy bone density by facilitating the transport of calcium from the bloodstream into the bone. Few doctors understand that vitamin K is also required by calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries. without adequate vitamin K, calcium in the blood can bind to the arterial wall resulting in calcification. As people age, even a subclinical vitamin K deficiency can pose risks to the vascular system.
Vitamin K1 is obtained in the diet primarily from dark leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach, and broccoli). Unfortunately, vitamin K1 is tightly bound to the chlorophyll in green plants, thus, aging humans are not always able to benefit from ingested K1-containing plants. While vitamin K1 is not absorbed particularly well from food, it is absorbed from supplements, provided that the supplements are taken with meals.
Vitamin K2 is found in only small quantities in the diet, primarily in dairy products. Human studies show that vitamin K2 is absorbed up to ten times more than K1. Vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body far longer than K1. For instances, K1 is rapidly cleared by the liver within 8 hours, whereas measurable levels of K2 have been detected 72 hours after ingestion.
Super K provides vitamin K1 and a new biologically active form of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone-7. The menaquinone-7 form of vitamin K is not metabolized quickly by the liver, thereby making it available to provide a more consistent supply of vitamin K to the body.
