Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

Dear Doctor Roach: I recently read that in order to have calcium absorbed by the bones (and not deposited in our arteries), one needs to take a vitamin D3 supplement that also includes K2. Is this correct? I’ve been taking a 2,000 IU D3 pill four to five times a week, and I’ve been making sure that there’s some healthy fat in the same meal to increase the absorption of the calcium. I can’t tolerate calcium supplements and want to ensure that my bones are receiving calcium. -- D.M.
