Proven Results – Helping to reduce the risk of hip fracture and so much more.

Adequate calcium intake has known benefits in helping to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. And you already know that only Os-Cal is proven to help reduce the risk of hip fracture by 29%. But research suggests that calcium may provide other beneficial functions as well.

Teeth

As part of a placebo-controlled, three-year study of the effect of calcium and Vitamin D on bone loss, researchers examined tooth loss in 145 healthy people aged 65 and older. The study, which was supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, concluded that intake levels of calcium and Vitamin D aimed at preventing osteoporosis also helped seniors conserve their teeth.

Weight Control

Survey studies have shown an association between higher dietary calcium intakes and proper weight management, and have found that higher dietary calcium intakes are associated with lower risk of obesity.
