Calcium and Vitamin D
for Osteoporosis
Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake are essential foundations of osteoporosis prevention and treatment — required for bone mineralisation and calcium absorption.
How it works
Calcium is the primary mineral in hydroxyapatite bone matrix. Vitamin D (as 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3) is essential for intestinal calcium absorption and renal calcium reabsorption. Deficiency accelerates bone loss.
What to watch for
Recommended intakes: 1000–1300mg calcium/day (preferably from food) and 800–2000 IU vitamin D/day. High-dose calcium supplements (>500mg/day) without meals may increase cardiovascular risk. Food-first approach preferred.
