How To Minimize Bone Loss Without Vitamin K?
I have both osteoporosis and Factor V Leiden, and my understanding is that foods high in vitamin K are very good (essential?) for bone strength, but they should be avoided for Factor V Leiden. I m trying to minimize my bone loss through diet and exercise (I m not willing to take medication), but how likely am I to succeed without vitamin K? Thank you very much.

hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history.
As per the history it looks you have a bony ailments. The pathophysiology of the bone needs an understanding and also as you are doing exercises i will make some add on.
The line of action is very simple and it works in majority of cases.
- Clinical examination and DEXA scan for assessing osteoporosis.
- Simple blood tests.
- Calcium and iron Supplement
- Vitamin D3 Injection
- Diet & Exercises
- Regular milk & Sun bath.
In my clinical practice with weight bearing exercises, milk products, sun bath, etc patients responds well. the calcium & vitamin D3 levels also increase.
