Major Review Finds Bone Supplements Do Little to Prevent Fractures
Original: Common Bone Health Supplements Do Little to Prevent Fractures, Major Review Finds
A major new review has concluded that common bone health supplements, such as calcium and vitamin D, do little to prevent fractures. The findings challenge widespread advice to take these supplements for bone strength, particularly among older adults at risk of osteoporosis. Health commentators are weighing what this means for current prevention guidelines and whether dietary sources might matter more than pills.
Why now: A large new review is challenging widely held beliefs about supplements for bone health, prompting debate among older adults and clinicians.
