Maintaining optimal bone health is crucial for overall well-being and quality of life, yet bone-related disorders such as osteoporosis pose significant health challenges, particularly among aging populations. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the role of nutraceuticals and functional foods in promoting bone health and preventing bone-related conditions. This comprehensive review provides an overview of the current evidence on the efficacy and mechanisms of action of various nutraceuticals and functional foods in supporting bone health. Key topics covered include the impact of dietary nutrients, bioactive compounds and herbal extracts on bone metabolism, bone mineral density and fracture risk. Additionally, emerging trends in bone health research, including personalized nutrition approaches and the influence of gut microbiota on bone health, are discussed. By synthesizing current knowledge and highlighting areas for future research, this review aims to inform healthcare professionals, researchers and consumers about the potential role of nutraceuticals and functional foods in optimizing bone health and reducing the burden of bone-related disorders.
