Study finds bone supplements lack fracture protection
A comprehensive scientific review has shown that routinely taking calcium and vitamin D supplements may not achieve the hoped-for benefits in protecting older adults from bone fractures and falls. Researchers analyzed data from 69 clinical trials involving over 154,000 people worldwide, and found that taking these supplements either alone or together does not significantly reduce the risk of fractures. There is a very small benefit when combined, amounting to preventing one fracture among every 100 people and three hip fractures among every 1,000 individuals. Experts confirmed that these results do not diminish the importance of calcium and vitamin D for bone building, but they advise engaging in physical activities such as resistance and balance exercises to help improve stability and prevent falls as people age.
