Bone Loss Resumes When Calcium Supplementation Stops

Calcium supplementation is a lifelong commitment and needs to be a part of a healthy lifestyle. Adequate calcium intake must be a “lifetime commitment” if individuals wish to maintain improvements in bone density, according to experts from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). They warn that bone loss associated with aging climbs to pre-therapy levels soon after calcium supplementation is discontinued. “Our take home message is ‘don’t stop,’” said Dr. Bess Dawson-Hughes, of the Jean Mayer USDA Human nutrition research Center on Aging, Tufts University, Boston, Massachusetts. She presented her findings here at the Experimental Biology 2000 conference.
