Hip Vitamin B

Vitamin B is the "hip" new vitamin. A recent study more than 1000 elderly adults showed that those with lower blood levels fof vitamin B had a higher rate of bone loss. The research specifically focused on people suffering from a hip fracture. Participants in this study who had vitamin B6 or B12 deficiency were 60% more likely to get a hip fracture during the four-year follow-up period than those who had sufficient levels of vitamin B.

Vitamin B can be taken as a solo supplement. Vitamin B6 is also found in bananas, beans and potatoes. Vitamin B12 is mainly found in meats.
