In Treatment of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often occurs in women after menopause. Vitamin D is important for calcium absorption and helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body. If you do not have enough calcium, it can damage your bones. Vitamin D will help keep your bones strong and healthy and reduce the risk of them becoming weak and more likely to break. Regular exercise (especially weight-bearing exercise), healthy foods containing calcium and vitamin D, and reducing alcohol and tobacco consumption can help improve bone strength.
