Calcium supplementation increases bone mineral content in adolescent girls

A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that over 18 period, girls who received supplemental calcium showed significantly greater gains in bone mineral content and bone mineral density was greater compared with the group that received only a placebo.



This study indicates that calcium supplementation does indeed enhance bone mineral accumulation in teenage girls. The likely mechanism for the effect of the calcium is suppression of bone turnover, which is reversed upon supplement withdrawal. Therefore, calcium supplementation must be consistent and life-long to achieve full bone health benefits. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 87, No. 2, 455-462, February 2008
