Beyond Bone Health: Exploring the "Heart-Brain-Bone" Axis Modulated by Lipid-Soluble Nutrients (Omega-3, Vitamin D3, and Vitamin K2).

Key takeaways

This is a review article that proposes a way of thinking, not a study with results. The authors argue that heart disease, memory loss, and thinning bones share common causes, such as how the body moves calcium around and long-running low-level inflammation. They suggest three fat-soluble nutrients, omega-3, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2, act on all three at once. No new data were collected, so there is nothing here about whether taking them helps.
