We currently recommend 2,000 IU of vitamin D in your multivitamin. We prefer a liquid vitamin D3. When trying to increase your bone density (and especially if you're taking extra calcium), we suggest taking a liquid vitamin K2 (MK7) supplement at around 120-240 mcg daily, on top of what is in your multivitamin. Make sure not to purchase a combination D3 and K2 supplement (the two nutrients will compete). Most physicians recommend taking 1,300 mg of calcium a day (including supplement and calcium-rich foods). Calcium cannot be absorbed at over 600 mg in a single serving. You don't have to worry about the studies where excess calcium caused arterial calcification, as long as you make sure to take your extra vitamin K2. [2019] - Mira Calton

Frailty is defined as having at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: weakness (as measured by grip strength), unintentional weight loss (of 10 pounds or 5% of body weight in the past year), exhaustion (self-reported), slow walking speed (based on the time to walk 15 feet), and low physically activity. Individuals meeting 1 or 2 of the criteria are classified as "pre-frail." About 1 in 40 are frail by age 65, 1 in 4 after age 75, and 1 in 3 of those older than 85. [2023] - Michael Greger
