The results of this study should not give you free reign to wildly supplement with calcium. Bone health and cardiovascular disease are complicated physiological processes. I recommend you use calcium supplementation to fill needed gaps in your diet while also supporting your calcium intake with complimentary nutrients like vitamins D and K.
Vitamin D impacts many areas of the body. It’s important for bone health because it can enhance calcium absorption while also playing a key role in bone building and remodeling. Deficiency in D is most classically associated with osteomalacia or soft bones. Find it in meats, fish, eggs, nuts, fortified milk, orange juice, and many cereals.
