Descoperire surprinzătoare despre suplimentele pentru oase: Calciul şi vitamina D sunt 'apă de ploaie' în prevenirea fracturilor

A recent analysis published in The BMJ indicates that calcium and vitamin D supplements may not significantly reduce the risk of falls or fractures in older adults. Despite their long-standing association with bone health, the study found limited evidence supporting their routine use for preventing such incidents. Researchers reviewed 69 clinical trials involving over 153,000 participants, concluding that these supplements had minimal to no effect on fracture rates. They recommend reevaluating current guidelines on supplementation and suggest focusing on alternative strategies like balance and resistance training to enhance physical stability and reduce fall risks.
