A simplified 2026 supplement approach focused on what actually supports bone strength and reduces fracture risk. Dr. Doug breaks down the science behind key supplements including vitamin K2 (MK4), gut-support probiotics, hormone-supporting botanicals, and whey protein. The focus stays on building a strong foundation with lifestyle and labs, then using supplements to fill true gaps. Plus, how to cut through the noise, choose high-quality products, and avoid overcomplicating your routine.
