Ranked by relevance, top first.
Relevance reflects how directly each supplement targets this symptom in the NutriStack map. Evidence is the supplement’s own rating. Open any name for the full profile.
- 01Vitamin D3Moderate86% match
Vitamin D drives intestinal calcium absorption and bone mineralization, and low status is a recognized risk factor for stress fractures in athletes and military recruits.
SuggestedVitamin D3 softgels, 1000 to 2000 IU daily with a fatty meal - 02CalciumModerate82% match
Calcium is the primary structural mineral of bone, and adequate intake combined with vitamin D has been associated with lower stress fracture incidence.
SuggestedCalcium citrate, 500 mg with meals, split through the day - 03Magnesium GlycinateLimited66% match
Magnesium is a structural component of bone and supports vitamin D activation and parathyroid hormone regulation, so adequate status underpins bone health.
SuggestedMagnesium glycinate, 200 to 300 mg elemental daily - 04Vitamin K2Limited60% match
Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that helps bind calcium into the bone matrix, which may support bone mineral quality.
SuggestedVitamin K2 as MK-7, 90 to 120 mcg daily with fat - 05Collagen PeptidesLimited57% match
Collagen provides the protein scaffold of bone, and emerging trials suggest collagen peptides combined with loading may support bone matrix and density.
SuggestedHydrolyzed collagen peptides, 10 to 15 g daily, ideally with vitamin C - 06BoronLimited55% match
Boron may influence calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D metabolism and sex hormone balance, which could indirectly support bone, though human bone outcomes are unclear.
SuggestedBoron, 3 mg daily
