Research Notes on Calcium Treatment for Osteoporosis

Calcium has been used in the treatment of osteoporosis to reduce the rate of bone loss associated with the condition. Combined with vitamin D, phosphorus, and certain exercises, calcium can also help in preventing osteoporosis.1 Calcium supplements can give you the recommended daily allowance to treat and prevent osteoporosis.

Fast Facts:

  • Calcium supplements should always be taken with vitamin D to help your body absorb the calcium properly.
  • Calcium alone is not effective in treating osteoporosis.2
  • Calcium supplements reduce the risk of fractures in those with osteoporosis.2
