Research Studies
Current studies show that deficiencies in
CALCIUM and VITAMIN D can contribute
to the development of osteoporosis1.
- VITAMIN D deficiency has also been
associated with reduced bone mineral
density, high bone turnover, and
increased risk of hip fracture in
the elderly2.
- Recent Australian Research has shown
that 22% of hostel residents and 45%
of nursing home residents were
deficient in VITAMIN D3.
- In addition to this, research has also
indicated that VITAMIN D supplementation
can reduce falls and fractures
in the elderly by 224.
