Dietary Menaquinone-9 Supplementation Does Not Influence Bone Tissue Quality or Bone Mineral Density in Mice

Minying Liu, Chongshan Liu, Nicolas Cevallos, Tristan Silfverskiold, Benjamin N Orbach, Christopher J. Hernandez, Xueyan Fu, Jennifer Lee, Sarah L. Booth, M. Kyla Shea

This study investigates the effects of menaquinone-9 (MK9) supplementation on bone health in mice, finding no significant impact on bone tissue quality or mineral density despite MK9 serving as a precursor to MK4 in bone.
