A nutritional composition promotes musculoskeletal health in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The nutritional composition contains casein protein, vitamin D, alpha-linolenic acid, and vitamin K in a ratio of vitamin K1:vitamin K2 between 3:1 to 1:3 and the vitamin K providing between 3.5-20 g/100 cal of the nutritional composition. A pharmaceutical formulation, a nutritional formulation, a tube-feed formulation, a dietary supplement, a functional food, a beverage product or a combination thereof comprising the nutritional composition is also disclosed. A method for improving musculoskeletal health is also disclosed.
