How it works
Protein provides amino acids for collagen synthesis (the main organic component of bone matrix) and muscle protein synthesis. Adequate protein intake increases IGF-1, which stimulates both muscle and bone formation.
Target 1.0–1.2g protein per kg body weight per day for older adults with osteoporosis. Protein from dairy, eggs, meat, legumes, and fish are all appropriate. Dairy provides protein + calcium synergistically.
Dietary changes
Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.
