Vitamin C Intake May Reduce Fracture Risk

Research presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research Annual Meeting this month showed that supplemental use of vitamin C is associated with a reduced risk for hip and nonvertebral fracture.

“Vitamin C is one of the nutrients important for bone health” says Urbod Nutritionist, Amanda Michie

“..however, other nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and boron, to name but a few, are other equally important vitamins and minerals necessary for strong, healthy bones as well as regular weight -bearing exercise.”
