Daily supplements of vitamin D may increase bone mass and structural bone parameters in adolescent girls, but boys didn’t seem to get any benefits in the parameters measured, says a new study.
Supplements of vitamin K2 may improve bone health in prepubescent children, and potentially protect them from osteoporosis later in life, says a new study.
Combining conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) with calcium may enhance bone mass, and explain inconsistencies from earlier studies, says new research from the US.
An adolescent's vitamin K status could have important long-term
implications on bone health, and a better status may protect them
from osteoporosis later in life, suggests a new study.
Magnesium supplements during adolescence, a key time for bone
formation, boosted bone health in 120 girls in the US - research
that suggests the mineral could have long-term benefits.
Calcium supplementation in girls, even before puberty, may help
prevent later osteoporosis, perhaps in part by bringing on earlier
menstruation, according to a study presented at a world congress on
osteoporosis last month.
Daily calcium supplementation can significantly affect the
development of optimum bone mass in teenaged girls, according to
research presented this week at the Fifth International Symposium:
Clinical Advances in Osteoporosis.
