Vitamin K
Leafy green vegetables, Broccoli and Brussels sprouts, Some fermented foods.
Magnesium
Nuts and seeds, Legumes, Whole grains, Leafy green vegetables.

Medication & Safety Cautions
Calcium
Calcium is a major structural mineral in bones and teeth and is also involved in muscle and nerve function. | Excess supplemental calcium can contribute to adverse effects; stay within the applicable UL.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D supports calcium absorption and bone-health physiology. | Avoid chronic high-dose use above the UL without medical supervision.
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is involved in vitamin K-dependent proteins, including proteins relevant to bone and blood clotting. | No UL has been established, but this does not mean unlimited supplemental intake is proven safe.
Magnesium
Magnesium contributes to bone structure and normal muscle and nerve function. | The DRI UL applies to supplemental/pharmacological magnesium, not magnesium naturally present in food and water.
Collagen Peptides
Collagen peptides are studied for joint function and connective-tissue support contexts. | allergy | kidney disease
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is widely used for cartilage and joint contexts, but product form, allergy, medication, and evidence-quality issues need clearer claim-level review.
