DID YOU KNOW? Just one cup of cooked Swiss chard provides a whopping 636% of your daily vitamin K needs! Vitamin K is an essential nutrient for bone health — and reduces fracture rates because it activates the major non-collagen protein that helps form bones.

This nutrient – along with calcium which is also found in Swiss chard – helps modulate bone metabolism, aids in bone growth, and protects the body from bone mineral loss common in the aging process.
