Owing to its nutritional profile, foxtail millet possesses the potential to positively influence bone health and structural integrity.

To explore the potential of of foxtail millet on senile bone degenerative disorders, a review of the literature from science Direct, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, classical Ayurvedic texts, and other published books was undertaken. This review highlights the potential of foxtail millet (Kangu) on senile bone degenerative diseases.
