💊 I'm no big supplement fan but ... BEFORE stopping your Vit D and calcium, NOTE: 1/ Adults with OSTEOPOROSIS were EXCLUDED from this study 2/ Most trials in the study were SHORT-TERM 3/ Showing ⬇️fractures & falls require LONG-TERM trials www.theglobeandmail.com/life/wellnes...

Calcium and vitamin D supplements do little to prevent falls and fractures, study suggests

New study suggests taking supplements is unlikely to further reduce the risk of fractures or falls if you’re already vitamin D sufficient
