  1. 01
    Vitamin D3Moderate
    86% 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
  2. 02
    CalciumModerate
    82% 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
  3. 03
    66% 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
  4. 04
    Vitamin K2Limited
    60% 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
  5. 05
    57% 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
  6. 06
    BoronLimited
    55% 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
