Does it work?

There is strong evidence that Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation is essential for the management of osteoporosis.

For example the work by Boonen et al, Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 259, Number 6, June 2006 , pp. 539-552(14) states that:

Combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation is an essential component of the management of osteoporosis, supported by a strong scientific rationale. The types of individuals who should receive calcium and vitamin D supplements are those: (i) patients with documented osteoporosis receiving antiresorptive or anabolic treatment; (ii) patients receiving glucocorticoids; and (iii) individuals with or at high risk of calcium and/or vitamin D insufficiencies, in particular older women and men. This article describes the evidence base that supports targeting these groups. Benefits are most apparent when 800?IU?day?1 vitamin D is complemented with a dose of 1000–1200?mg?day?1 elemental calcium. Compliance is also key to optimizing clinical efficacy.
