Interesting article - combining calcium and vit d

Calcium and vitamin D are important for maintaining adequate nutrition, especially if someone is deficient, but, based on this analysis, they are not sufficient as a fracture-prevention treatment for postmenopausal osteoporosis on their own. I wish it was this simple!!!

@babs10 just read this in medical news today. Once again, seems like we really don’t have complete knowledge yet of dealing with bone health. Meds, supplements, high impact exercise, weight training, which ones, which combination. Then there is “testing”; bone markers or not, nutrition testing, DEXA accurate or not, once a year or not. FRAX score important or not ( no FRAX for me as I have one hip replacement). Then there is HRT or not. Many are using it with great results. Medicine is a creative field, and all patients are different and we all have different health needs depending on our conditions but it seems like we are just throwing darts to see what sticks!
