Discuss the role of vitamin K in bone metabolism
What will be an ideal response?
Vitamin K participates in the metabolism of bone proteins, most notably osteocalcin. Without vitamin K, osteocalcin cannot bind to the minerals that normally form bones, resulting in low bone density. An adequate intake of vitamin K helps to decrease bone turnover and protect against fractures. The effectiveness of vitamin K supplements on bone health is inconclusive.
