    For bone health, vitamin d and calcium together have evidence supporting their use, although vitamin D on its own may not do much in this regard.[1] vitamin k supplements may also help prevent fractures to a small extent.[2] Supplements for joint health include glucosamine, chondroitin, boswellia, turmeric, type ii collagen, fish oil, and more.
