Pathological fractures.
Spine curvature deformities.
Bone pains.
Disability.

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)
Nine fractures occurred
in placebo group versus only
2 fractures in calcium group.
(P=0.037).(5)
Hi-Cal
