Calcium Supplement Benefits         (Here Is The Evidence):
Calcium supplementation significantly reduced bone loss in postmenopausal women. (P=0.005) (4,5)
The rate of reduction of bone mineral loss is sustained throughout the 4-year study period. (P=0.002) (5)

Calcium Supplement 1gm/day
N=61, Age = 58±5
   
The incidence of symptomatic fractures was also significantly reduced in the calcium group.(5)
