Adequate calcium supplementation in association with the Mediterranean diet and a physically active lifestyle can improve the quality and even life expectancy of the population, with a reduced risk of osteoporosis.

At the Moscati Clinical Nutrition Laboratory (Nutriketo_Lab) we are evaluating the effectiveness of regular calcium consumption for the prevention of osteoporosis in premenopausal and postmenopausal women as part of a defined dietary protocol.

The intake of a dose of calcium easily assimilated from a resource such as bicarbonate-calcium and low sodium water, could be able to determine improvements in the markers of bone turnover and also in joint function and elasticity, decreasing the risk of bone fractures.
