Vitamin K2: helps calcium bind to bones instead of being deposited in arteries or joints.

When to see a doctor

If you suffer from persistent leg or bone pain, muscle weakness, or tingling, you shouldn’t ignore these symptoms. Simple blood tests can reveal vitamin deficiencies. Early diagnosis and appropriate supplements or dietary changes can significantly alleviate symptoms and improve your overall health.

By understanding these symptoms and providing your body with the nutrients it needs, you can take proactive steps to protect the health of your bones and nerves at any age
