Vegetable · ingredient guide
A sturdy leafy green that is one of the richest vegetable sources of vitamin K, plus vitamin C, provitamin A and some plant calcium.
Kale is loaded with vitamin K, which is involved in bone metabolism — a useful addition to a bone-supportive diet as fracture risk rises after menopause. It also delivers antioxidant vitamins C and A and some absorbable calcium. Leafy greens support overall and bone health as part of a varied diet; they do not replace calcium, vitamin D or medical care for low bone density.
Food supports overall health — it doesn't treat or cure any condition. Talk to your clinician about symptoms, supplements, or a diagnosis.
It provides some well-absorbed plant calcium, though far less per serving than dairy or fortified foods. Treat it as one contributor to your calcium intake, not the main one.
